Another Rhinoceros Siting

I saw this article on Yahoo and thought everybody would be excited to know that there have been more members found from Tom's Rhino Horn species. In the article it states:


MEGACERAS BRIANSALTINI
Rhinoceros beetles are named for the horn-like structures on their heads. According to the author, this charismatic new species has a unique form of horn that is otherwise similar only to the one on Tom, one of the siblings from the Clark Family. This makes for a rare instance of Nature imitating humans.
