A queer report comes in from time to time that rhinoceros visit Rodger's Island. This report is hardly credible but as it recurs, there may be some truth in it. In 1889, Anderson stated that rhino found their way to Kisseraing islands, and that then they existed on Sir Robert Campbell and Sir Charles Forbes islands. He stated that a police officer saw a two-horned rhino swimming near High island which is a good 20 miles from the mainland although there are islands in sight all around.
