Sumatran Rhino |
I have seen tracks of four Rhinos together, and have been told by a sahib that he has seen six of these animals together. So it seems that they are at times gregarious, though generally met with singly. (Any notes on this would be very interesting. The reason may be seasonal, connected with food or water, or possibly with visits to a salt lick)
I have several times followed up tracks, and have never seen a case of a pair meeting during the night, as mentioned by Shortridge ; nor have I ever heard of the habit from Chins or Burmans, some of whom are very close observers, especially of Rhino
