Until the early 1980s, some 7-8 rhinos frequented the grasslands around Matmora, in Lakhimpur district. The last rhino of the area fell to poachers in 1985. This animal was bom near Matmora and was reportedly habituated and very tame. A stray rhino passed through the area in early 1995 and was sighted in the Sisi-Kalghar area of Dhemaji district, north-east of Matmora.
