Answer 1

The Indian rhinoceros was the first rhinoceros known to Europeans. Rhinoceros comes from the Greek ‘rhino’ meaning nose and ‘ceros’ meaning horn. The Indian rhinoceros is monotypic. There are no distinct subspecies. Rhinoceros unicornis was the type of species for the rhinoceros family, first classified by Carolus Linnaeus in 1758. The Indian rhinoceros was the first rhino widely known outside its range. The first rhino to reach Europe in modem times arrived in Lisbon on May 20, 1515. King Manual I of Portugal planned to send the rhinoceros to Pope Leo X but the rhino perished in a shipwreck.
