Wait until you find out the depth of creativity contained in the naming of the “rhinoceros”.
The word rhinoceros is derived through Latin from the Ancient Greek: ῥῑνόκερως, which is composed of ῥῑνο- (rhino-, “nose”) and κέρας (keras, “horn”) with a horn on the nose. The name has been in use since the 14th century.[8]

Triceratops
TricornTriceratops already means “Three-Horned Face” =P It’s just Greek instead of Latin.
unicorn (n.) early 13c., from Old French unicorne, from Late Latin unicornus (Vulgate), from noun use of Latin unicornis (adj.) “having one horn,” from uni- “one” (from PIE root *oi-no- “one, unique”) + cornus “horn” (from PIE root *ker- (1) “horn; head”).
The Late Latin word translates Greek monoceros, itself rendering Hebrew re’em (Deuteronomy xxxiii.17 and elsewhere), which probably was a kind of wild ox. According to Pliny, a creature with a horse’s body, deer’s head, elephant’s feet, lion’s tail, and one black horn two cubits long projecting from its forehead. Compare German Einhorn, Welsh ungorn, Breton uncorn, Old Church Slavonic ino-rogu. Old English used anhorn as a loan-translation of Latin unicornis.
also from early 13c.

That’s a pretty good description of Elasmotherium.
Pliny should have missed the last Elasmotherium by like 100,000 years, though, give or take a few years.
Wait until you hear about bicycles.
Is that like a unicycle but with two wheels?
The butterfly from The Last Unicorn told us this.
Is that why I’m getting downvoted? Tough crowd.
Butt Stallion from Borderlands was a bicorn in fact, not a unicorn
