I'll put that on my to-do list. Be warned though- first I have to make my genetically engineered super soldiers, super fruit flies, a couple of tree species I want to save, and non-itch grass, so it might take some time.
Actually, rhinos and horses are in the same family IIRC. But you really wouldn't want a rhino horn, they're rather ugly. What you really want is a tusk, sheathed in ivory like an elephant tusk or boar tusk. Just instead of two have one, like the narwhal.
