Pretoria Zoo - 2 week old female. The base of the forward horn is a smooth, rounded, hard boss; there is no trace of the other horn, though two little crescentic hollows on the sides of the brow show where it will grow. Behind her eyes are two little knobs on the cheek bones; and on the top of the neck just behind the back of the head is a curious little patch of thickened skin.
