Original text on this topic:
Interested, like very many others, in the curious feat of self-mutilation performed by the male rhinoceros at the Zoo, I paid him a visit on Saturday, August the 27th, expecting to see the horn itself adorned with a label notifying the particulars of so extraordinary an event: in this I was disappointed; but I made an observation on the female rhinoceros which was so new and interesting to me that I think it worth recording. [Horn topples forward]
