About half of what I learn everyday is wrong, almost all the other half is obsolete.    Well, I could be wrong about that or maybe I need an update...

WHEN IT CHARGES YOU-RUN-UM FAST

hanneke  i belive you  ( after all it is your language)_

i wonder why they have weit - in the rhino  page

as meaning  wide ?  maby  this is the answer

White Rhinoceros: Although it's name suggests it's colour to be white, the colour of the rhino is in fact greyish-brown. Most sources will tell you that the term white is derived from the Dutch 'wide', which describes it's wide upper lip or wide spread occurence. There is however no proof of this as there is no reference to Wyd-Renoster or any other name of this kind in literature

so your right and thier all wrong   (  yahoo for you  we learn new things each day

 --------------------------------------------

It's therefore highly unlikely that the term 'White' in White Rhinoceros has been derived from a Dutch or Africaans word. The exact source of the white in White Rhino is still unknown
