When provoked, the rage of the Indian rhinoceros is almost beyond conception; it charges blindly with great violence, and combining as it does enormous weight with an almost bullet-proof hide, its onset is much dreaded by even the staunchest in the line of elephants engaged in beating, and as often as not the majority turn tail and bolt in fine style. Many a good elephant will stand repeated charges from a furious tiger with unconcern, but proves itself to be an arrant coward when opposed to an Indian rhinoceros.
