Original text on this topic:
The first rhinoceros, since 1870 in the zoo of Berlin, was the young female black rhinoceros ?Molly', 75 cm high, shown on a woodcut after the painter C. Steffeck.
Somewhat later Peters made a portrait available to Sclater (1876, made by Muetzel ?).
The form of the horns was sketched by Meyerheim and Leutemann, less clearly by Muetzel.
The first Indian rhinoceros is just indicated by Meyerheim in 1871/72 (see Heikamp 1980). Soon there were other conspecifics in the garden (in the 1880s three at the same time), shown by Muetzel and Kuhnert.
