Thiri Pyanchi U Son Nein, M.p. for Chin Hills, wrote in Sep 1953 that he saw fresh tracks of a rhino on Lontin Hill between Matupi and Kanpetlet, and that a villager from Paletwa saw a rhino in Bigon forests between Matupi and Paletwa in May 1953. If not identical, this area probably adjoins the areas where during the Arakan campaign, the special patrols saw a rhino about 15 miles NE of Paletwa in Jan 1944 and a second rhino about 25 miles east of Paletwa in April 1944. The writer crossed over the Arakan Yomas from Padaung to Taungup and back in Feb 1946 when he was informed where the rhino still existed.
