Loosely. DNA research has led to the proposal of a clade called Pegasoferae which includes horses, rhinos, tapirs, pangolins, bats and the Carnivora. "Pegasoferae" as in Pegasus, because the group includes both horses and bats - but Brutus and Pixie and even Randall are in it too, because they're Carnivora.

I think that's the reason they are loosing money. The Rhino is never the animal they expect him to be.

Nice biology in-joke. If somebody says they have bats in the belfry they'll all look at rhino too.

Nah, rhino's not a camel. This strip is a biologist's joke: we used to think rhinos were related to elephants and we called them both pachyderms, but now with DNA testing we know they're related to horses.

I think he has been planning this comic for a long time. Preping our minds to expect that kind of humor with years of comics following that method just so he could make this one and rip the carpet out from under our feet.
Well played sir, keeping us on our toes

Snake - "Well with all these problems going on I think the overhead runover is going to be the straw that broke the camel's back." *Everyone looks in Rhino's direction* "RAAAAGGHHH!!!" Rhino roars as he flips the conference desk with his horn and everyone scatters
