The dung resembles horse droppings, but the balls are much larger (like tennis balls) and contain much dry woody matter. The rhino likes to deposit these on certain places in the forest, which are therefore covered in dung. Appelman, who followed a rhino in South Tasikmalaja in 1933, said that the smell of urine and the pyramid-shaped dungpiles would point at the animal.
