Cornelius the First
Cornelius the First (died April 3, 2013) was a Canadian black rhinoceros from the Granby Zoo in Granby, Quebec. The name "Cornelius" is a French-language pun, as the French word for "horn" is ''corne''.
==Political candidature==
Cornelius was the nominal leader of the federal political party, the Rhinoceros Party of Canada from 1965 to 1993. The party attracted a considerable number of votes in Canadian elections 1979, 1980 and 1984, sometimes even coming in second place in some ridings, but never elected a candidate to the Canadian House of Commons.
The Party was inspired by Cacareco, a rhinoceros at the São Paulo zoo in Brazil, which was a candidate for the 1958 city council elections with the intention of protesting against political corruption.〔(Cacareco )〕 Electoral officials did not accept Cacareco's candidacy, but he eventually won 100,000 votes, more than any other party in that same election (which was also marked by rampant absenteeism). Today, the term "Voto Cacareco" (Cacareco vote) is commonly used to describe protest votes in Brazil.
During the Canadian federal election of 1984, the party made a major part of their platform declaring war on Belgium because a Belgian cartoon character, ''Tintin'', killed a rhinoceros in one of the early works of the comics series. The party offered to call off the threatened Belgium-Canada war if Belgium delivered a case of mussels and a case of Belgian beer to Rhinoceros "Hindquarters" in Montreal (the Belgian Embassy in Ottawa ''did'', in fact, do this).〔
