In the jungles of Assam the Indian rhinoceros not only dwells, but is as completely concealed as is a rabbit in a cornfield. To those who have never seen Indian grass jungles, it may seem incredible that such a huge animal should be hidden by such covert, but when it is realised that the grass of which they are formed grows to a height of between 10 and 20 feet, the difficulty vanishes.
