We know very little about the age of the rhinoceros. In Brehm it is recorded that an Indian rhinoceros in Barrackpore, calcutta was 45 years old and that other zoos had the same experience. If one adds a few years before the animal arrived in captivity, it is clear that the longevity can be up to 50-55 years. In any case one can assume that the rhinoceros in nature, where it can live undisturbed, in general will reach a much higher age.
