Learn how to explain to a 6-year-old that rhinos can't see very well but have a strong sense of smell, using simple and fun words.

Rhinos use their amazing sense of smell to find food, friends, and to understand what’s happening nearby. So even though their eyes are not very good, their nose helps them a lot!
