Its exotic traits and combat appearance ignited the imagination of many.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe smallest of the rhinoceros’ family, the Dwarf Rhino weighed only a few hundred kilos that, compared to the 2.3 tons of some of its relatives, made it a real dwarf of the species. To think that the first time it was spotted, the explorers made fun of its dimensions by comparing it to other rhinos they had seen. They even thought about stroking it, regretting it immediately after the appalled animal charged them, its plated body gleaming in the sun.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe unique structure of the ancient skin and the typical grey-brown folds that section its body were truly martial-looking, bearing the unique appearance of a suit of armour. Males “polished” their outfit especially well during mating season, before a decisive battle, by rubbing it on rough terrain, then bathing it and letting it dry in the sun.”  – \u003cstrong\u003eMoooi The Museum of Extinct Animals.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe decorative tile in every modern interior\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese decorative tiles are beautiful, distinctive accents to personalize a space.
