Some people believe that crushed rhino horn can cure a range of illnesses and is even viewed as an aphrodisiac in Traditional Asian Medicine. However, the rhino horn is comprised of keratin, the same material as our fingernails and has no medicinal value.

Unfortunately, this ill-conceived notion is the reason why rhinos are being hunted to extinction. Look at what belief can make people do.
