Original text on this topic:
Wunderlich has shown that the horns can be shed at regular intervals and then grow again. At first the spot where the horn is attached looks like a wound and can be recognized by a lot of blood vessels. The new horn grows again slowly. This has only been witnessed in the Indian rhinoceros, not in any of the other species.
