Sumatran Rhino |
|
The skin of the Sumatran rhinoceros is much softer and more flexible than that of the Indian and is not corrugated into plates of mail. It has however some doublings or folds, particularly round the neck, shoulders and haunches, rather more distinct and defined than in Dr. Bell's drawing.
