Island Nousakambang-an, off Java's south coast. Rhinoceroses have settled on the island, but if we are to believe the story of the local people who have lived on the island for seventy years, it appears that there is only one of these dangerous animals on the island, which the people perceive as holy, and which has received the name kerto dupo, after a certain local person, who died when looking for bird's nests and whose soul would have entered the rhinoceros.
