Rhinoceros Calf - Walking (Mojo)

The Mojo Rhinoceros Calf Walking figure is depicted in a dynamic walking stance, conveying movement and curiosity. The skin is textured to replicate the thick, rough hide of a young rhinoceros, with realistic folds and creases that highlight its sturdy build.

The color palette includes shades of grey, accurately representing the natural coloration of a rhino calf. The facial features are finely detailed, with a small, budding horn that indicate the calf’s youthful age. The ears are positioned alertly, adding to the lifelike appearance. 

Figure measures approximately 2.5 L x 1.8 H x 0.8 W inches.

A rhinoceros calf is the young offspring of the rhinoceros, one of the largest and most powerful herbivores on the planet. Rhinos are distinguished by their thick skin, large size, and, most notably, their impressive horns. There are five species of rhinos: the White, Black, Indian, Javan, and Sumatran, each with unique characteristics but sharing common early life traits.

Rhinoceros calves are typically born weighing between 88 to 143 pounds, depending on the species. The gestation period for rhinos ranges from 15 to 18 months. Calves are born precocial, meaning they are relatively mature and mobile from the moment of birth. Within hours, they can stand and walk, essential skills for staying close to their mothers and avoiding predators.

A rhino calf's primary source of nourishment is its mother's milk, which it will continue to drink for up to two years, although it begins to graze on vegetation after a few months. The bond between a mother rhino and her calf is incredibly strong. The mother is highly protective, often placing herself between her calf and any perceived threat. This protective behavior is crucial, as calves are vulnerable to predators such as lions, hyenas, and crocodiles, depending on their habitat.
