ORDER OF PACHYDERMATA.

The Great Indian Rhinoceros (Fig. 35) is heavy and more 
massive than even the Elephant, on account of the shortness of its 
limbs. The feet have each three toes, of which one sees nothing 
but the hoof which covers them. The tail is short and thin. 
This huge Pachyderm lives alone in the forests and near 
rivers and marshes, because it is fond of wallowing in the 
mud, like the wild boar, which it somewhat resembles in its
