Original text on this topic:
We are now left with southeast Pahang which for the greater part is a vast area of swampy jungle, mainly unexplored and unknown insofar as wildlife is concerned. From this area there periodically emerge migrations of the Bearded Pig (S. barbatus) which the aborigines slaughter as they swim the rivers. Apart from these migrations, this animal is practically unknown in Malaya, and it would certainly not be too far fetched to expect to find rhinoceros somewhere in that wild region, especially in the upper valley of the Sungei Endau.
