Were Rhino's really trained for battle back then?

i don't think so. their temperament and vision is all kinds of sheite.

No, too hard to tame and train. The only thing that gets pissed off for no reason and impossible to train are hippopotamus.


>t. former zoo keeper

An elephant's vision is not any better dumbass

>>34999277
Who was talking about elephants? Are you literally retarded?

>>34999283
The point is you can't say poor vision would inhibit rhino's from battle if it didn't for elephants

>>34999297
Make sense please

>>34999297
Are you being purposefully retarded?

>>34999315
Elephants had poor vision,
they were used for battle!

Why can't Rhino's

>>34999231
Im sure at some point someone threw a couple rhinos at the battle field, but no, I am sure they weren't trained

>>34999376
The part directly before that which said their temperament is also shit

>>34999376
cause rhinos are jerks

>>34999548
Rhino's are relatively gentle animals.
Their not as dumb as Buffalo or any of the sort

>>34999297
Elephants weren't even that useful apart from psychological effects from people who had never seen them before

>>34999631
ARE YOU STUPID!?

Not him, but that's not completely true. Great pack animal, great animal to command a battle from, and a decent archery platform. When the British left Burma in WW2, they said that they couldn't have done it without elephants.

Rhinos vs Jaguars, who wins?

>>34999613
Rhinos are assholes. Not like hippo or goose level asshole, but they're still up there. They can't see for shit, and their favorite way to deal with shit that they can sense but not see is to charge it and investigate its mushy remains.

They should just turn a bunch of Cape buffalo loose at them.

Stop your crocodile tear!

probably too stupid to train

Elephant keeper here. Elephants have much better eyesight than rhinos, are not easily to freak out, and naturally take to training using the most miniscule reinforcement. Rhinos however seem to require much larger amounts of food for the simplest of shifting behaviors.

>>35001723
Did... Did a Jaguar just swim through water, attack a fucking crocodile, then drag it back into the water while the fucker is still alive and kicking?

>>35005607
It snapped it's neck before dragging it into the water, large cats are known for being able to kill most shit by just snapping their necks.
Except domesticated cats, who literally torture their prey to death

Mammals rule the world for a reason anon

>>35006108

Because the giant dinosaurs died off?

>>35006137
You've got the wrong perspective here, anon. Note that the dinosaurs died off, but the mammals did not.

>>35006137
>in an alternate universe the dinosaurs never went extinct and went on to evolve into intelligent humanoids
>their furrys wear costumes reminiscent of a human

>>35005607
it probably died instantly when it got bit

>>35006270
That's only because mammals at the time were small rat like creatures. They just got lucky a big meteor wiped the big spooky Dino's out so they could freely evolve and fill the gap.

>>35006270

That's not true, modern birds are dinosaurs.

>>35006313
huh, i wonder why modern birds arnt called dinosaurs

>>35005658
Jaguars are a bit different from other big cats. Their jaws are built for crushing skulls rather than snapping necks, although that wouldn't work for a crocodilian.

>>35006313
>>35007220
Huh, I wonder why modern apes aren't called monkeys

It's funny to observe the size of the gap between your knowledge of the this topic and your perception of your knowledge of this topic.

>>35005658
domesticated cats also deliver a killing bite to the neck
the torturing animals is to wear their prey out and make the kill bite easier and less risky

>>35006313
>durr, I'm gonna pretend that people mean all dinos and non non-avian dinos when they say Dinosaur even though that's how the word is used in common speech
