INDIAN RHINOCEROS 
( Rhinoceros unicornis ) 
The great one-horned Indian Rhinoceros is characterized by its 
thickened skin which has the appearance of riveted armor plate, and 
which was so shown in the famous wood engraving by Albrecht Diirer. 
Although once widespread in the peninsula of India this two-ton her- 
bivore is now practically confined to the grassy jungles and muddy low- 
lands of the alluvial plains of Assam. 
The specimens in the group were collected near the border of 
Nepal. 
For permission to take these specimens the Museum is greatly indebted to The 
Late General His Highness Sir Chandra Shumshere Jung Bahadur Rana, G C B GCSI
