Sumatran Rhino |
|
The Rhino when feeding squeals to itself with pleasure and can be heard some way off. When wallowing it snorts and blows and also makes a plaintive sound rather like the swishing noise made by the wings of a Hornbill in flight. When suspicious it gives a loud snort, breathes heavily through the nose and finally when really alarmed lets out a loud squeal.
