In the Mong Mit Division, there is a popular belief that in the month of wazo (July), all rhinoceros in the Shwe-u-Daung congregate and meet at one particular `aing' called the `Wazo Aing' but this belief has not been tested out as yet.
It is believed that there are fire-eating, or fire-attacking rhinoceros. Bad omens are associated with their killing; female rhinoceros are fond of tossing large branches or small logs which come in their way and sometimes this injures the young calf at heel, which accounts for the slow rate of increase.
