History of Lalbaug Botanical Gardens, Bangalore. From Annual Reports by Charles Cameron. In 1893, the menagerie lost their male Rhinoceros indicus. This was the female of a pair originally received from the palace in Mysore. The male became aggressive and was sent to Travancore Gardens in exchange for a lioness and tiger, and was believed to be alive there. The rhino which expired had been sick for 2 weeks with symptoms being collapse of the hind legs with reddish eruptions over the whole body.
