Origami Rhinoceros Printable Instructions

Let’s learn how to fold an origami rhinoceros designed by Caleb Witte. This model has a strong shape with a large horn, a raised back, and short, sturdy legs that make it easy to recognize. The folds around the head create nice layers, especially near the horn and ears. A little shaping near the end helps give the rhinoceros a more natural posture. This is a low-intermediate model and a fun challenge for beginners with some folding experience. The folding sequence is fairly simple, but as the layers build up, some of the later folds become tighter and a little harder to shape neatly. To make things easier to follow, we broke the tutorial into 39 detailed steps, including 37 video steps to guide you through the trickier parts of the model.
