'does it get one' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'impaled on terrible horn?' is the wordplay.
'impaled' becomes 'i' (this might be a standard abbreviation I've not previously seen).
'on' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'terrible' indicates an anagram.
'horn' anagrammed gives 'rhno'.
'i' placed inside 'rhno' is 'RHINO'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rhino that I've seen before include "Thick-skinned beast" , "endangered creature" , "big game" , "one might charge in Africa" , "greens" .)
