The head is large and bears the horns for which it is named.  The genera ''Rhinoceros'' have a single, large horn; the remaining species have two, of which the front horn is longer.  Lacking a bony core, these horns are made entirely of keratin - the same material found in hair and fingernails - which continue to grow throughout life.
