    Not in CA you won't, at least legally. CA has an exotic animals permit which is next to impossible to obtain.
    Here's everything you need to know:
    www.dfg.ca.gov/licensing/.../fg1518.pdf

    In short, the only way you can obtain this restricted animals permit is if you have 2 years experience working HANDS ON with venomous at a zoo or other AZA accredited organization.

    Secondly Rhinos make terrible first hots. Much experience must be gained prior to getting one. (and I'm not talking about handling. this is a VERY "sensitive" animal).
    Many Rhino's die, they think it's fun. Most ppl's first Rhino dies.

      Cheers,
