Sumatran Rhino |

Meanwhile in Germany, another mammalogist Dr Groves has somewhat ironically described a new form of the Sumatra-Borneo rhinoceros in our 'honour' as Didermocerus sumatrensis harrissoni. As Medway shows, D.s.h. is on the verge of total extinction in Borneo now, thanks in part to the astonishing negligence of previous curators and others in doing nothing to stop the Dayak slaughter in the thirties - for Chinese aphrodiacs.
