Rhino vs Hampster

Questions For Discussion

Devin posed an interesting question; would you rather have a hamster-size rhinoceros or a rhinoceros-size hamster?  Why?

I would rather have the hamster size rhino because you would need a Ferris Wheel for a rhino-size hamster to exercise on.  Mrs. Heithoff

If the rhino vs hamster question isn't enough for you to ponder, Paula found these interesting points to think about.

Give me a hamster-sized rhino because he would only need a pail of muddy water to keep him content. It would take a lot of cedar chips to keep a rhino-sized hamster happy!

Come on! What would you do with a miniature rhino? They are relatives to the horse, but they would be way too small to ride! Besides, many species of them are ill-tempered and they have poor eyesight. Worthless! On the other hand, if I had a rhino-sized hamster, I would just keep it outside (no woodchips necessary) and it could run around and play! Can you imagine the giant ball in which it could roll down the street! And it would be soft and fuzzy and make a much better pet than a rhino!

Can you imagine how terrifying rhino-sized vermin would be? Sidebar: You do realize that this philosophical question emerged in Speech class, don't you?

That may be, but it took the Art teacher to put it on the web for everyone to ponder:)

I would go with the hampster sized rhino. It would eat less. Besides have you ever seen a hamster chew on things? When Mrs. Walsh's big hamster got hungry, it would start eating houses!

Under more questions to ponder, there is an actual numerical answer to the twice as cold as 0 degrees and it's not 0. I am such a nerd!
