Inhabits Java. 
This species was living some time at Knowsley, and bred there. In all its states it was very distinct 
from the Samboo of Continental India. The horns are similar to those of R. Equinus, but the body and horns 
are smaller, and the hair of the young is smoother.

blackish where rubbed ; neck rather maned (with longer hair), especially in the male ; front, or rather
