It is in the Bintang Hijau Forest Reserve in northern Perak and the contiguous Gunong Inas Forest Reserve in south Kedah, that we find the highest concentration of rhinoceros known in Malaya. The rocky inhospitable terrain, containing a series of precipitous 4000 to 6000 foot mountains, is well-watered and has frequent wallows and a number of fine salt licks, which when I inspected them in 1956 were regularly visited. The wide game trails were much used by both rhino and elephant. In fact the Assistant Game Warden of Perak photographed a rhino at a salt lick a year or so later.
