In London on 10 August 1870, the male made freuqent attempts to raise the lower transverse bar by placing his horn under it. Eventually the horn became detached by violent pressure and rolled off into the yard. The animal appeared much hurt, and roared loudly. There was considerable loss of blood, but the wound healed in a few days. A new horn started to grow and reached 1 ? inch next year.
