Currently, the first rhinoceros to be found - about three in number - are located in north Selangor on the banks of the Bernam River where I found two adults and one young in 1949. A sanctuary of some 10,700 acres was created for their total protection by the Selangor State Government a few years ago; this is now surrounded by cultivation on three sides. It is unfortunate that no corresponding reserve has been made in Perak in the extensive swamp forest across the river which the rhino are known to cross. Number estimated 3-4.
