Ricko the Rhino SmartStrand Story

Ricko the Rhino and Mohawk Flooring's SmartStrand Story. Very cool way to show off this terrific, environmentally friendly carpet.

I read 60lbs. of rhino poop a day. Kids, don't try this at home! :)

Rhino versus Mohawk's Smartstrand Carpet

On August 14, Mohawk will install SmartStrand triexta carpet in the indoor enclosure of The Birmingham Zoo’s only Eastern Black Rhinoceros, leaving it there for two weeks. Ricko the Rhino will live as usual in the zoo, eating, sleeping, rolling his ball around and doing things that just come naturally to a 2,800-pound rhinoceros. All on Mohawk’s SmartStrand carpet!

Webcams will be strategically placed throughout the enclosure, including a night-vision webcam, to capture the rhino's life on the carpet. Anyone can watch the Ricko the Rhino as he romps and tromps around all over the SmartStrand carpet.
