New York City: First rhinoceros was shown in US on 9/13/1826
And in the next cage we have the
Rhino Sauras. This animal is reputed to be
the richest in the world. Its name is derived
from the Latin – rhino meaning money and
sore**** meaning piles, hence piles of money.
Oh we're off to see the Wild West Show
The elephant and the kangaroo-o-o
Never mind the weather
As long as we're together
We're off to see the Wild West Show
