Burma, Kahilu Reserve. From time to time local villagers have caught momentary glimpses of the animals; the keepers also have had occasional glimpses of them. All their reports agree that the Rhino possess either a single horn or none at all. Similarly, reports by the local villagers on animals killed in the past state that the males carried a single horn and the females carried no horn. The description given by the headman of the largest village in the sanctuary of a female Rhino, which was trapped by his villagers several years ago, tallied with these reports, and his description of the animal's skin left little doubt that the animal was sondaicus.
