Rhino

I personally prefer the olive-green chiaroscuro woodcut of durers rhinoceros  mainly because of its design , I loved the pattern work in the legs and stomach .  The fact that he attached scales to the skin on to the legs and made the body look like a sheet of armor . it has a skeleton like face and that really interest me , and the added horns all over the top of the head .

Olive-green chiaroscuro had some similarities to durer because he was one of the people that were inspired by the way durer depicted the rhinoceros , you can see it in the pattern of the stomach and the body , the scales on the legs and the extra horns on the top of the head .

Petrus also used some of the same formats at durer with the armor like skin and the extra horns on his depictions of his rhino .
