The rhinos of the Torsa region comprised of two overlapping sub-populations, i.e. [Patlakhawa] and the Jaldapara sub-population in Jalpaiguri district, occupying the present Jaldapara Sanctuary and Chilapata reserves, and moving up to Bhutri and other adjoining forests in Buxa and Cooch Behar divisions. In his three hunting expeditions in 1892, 1893 and 1904, in and around Chilapata Forest, the Maharajah of Cooch Behar recorded killing of one rhino, injury of one, and sighting of over 14.
