Original text on this topic:
This is one of two known examples of Rhinoceros sondaicus in Malaysia. It is a cow that was killed at Kuala serukoi near Telok Anson, Perak on 16 April 1924. As this rhinoceros was shot by a person without a license and no report of the matter was made to the authorities the skull and head-skin were confiscated by the Government and handed over to the Selangor Museum.
