The founders of the party chose its leader Cornelius First, a rhinoceros from the Granby Zoo. Since Cornelius immortalized in the official logo of the party. According Feron rhinos and politicians have much in common: they are thick-skinned, dull, but when they feel the danger of running away with frightening speed.
