In Perak, lower Malay Peninsula, however, two individuals have been killed in the last thirty years, the mounted heads of which are now in the Selangor Museum of the Federated Malay States. The second was a female, killed April 16, 1924, at Kuala Serukoi, near Telok Anson, in Perak, by an unlicensed hunter. The skull and head skin only are preserved at the Selangor Museum. Both these animals were savage, and given to unprovoked attacks. The 1924 cow rhino had come to notice through its having attacked a Chinese who was tapping jelutong in the forest. He was charged three times, tossed, and chased, but managed to escape. It was said that there was a second rhino in the neighborhood.
