SUMATRAN RHINOCEROS 
( Rinoceros su ma tr crisis ) 
This species, the smallest of living rhinoceroses, though bearing two 
horns, is more nearly allied to the single-horned Indian rhinoceros than 
to the African two-horned forms. Though sometimes called the hairy 
rhinoceros, the hair on the adult is thin and scattered, the ears and tail 
being the only truly hairy parts. The young of the species is possessed 
of a luxurious coat. 
The territory of this rhinoceros formerly extended from Assam, 
through Burma and Siam and the Malay Peninsula, into the islands of 
Sumatra and Borneo. 
For permission to take these specimens, the Museum is indebted to Sir Harcourt 
Butler, G.C.S.I., G.C.I.E., D.C.L., I.C.S.
