Martin et al. (1987) documented what they said was a new threat from Bhutan, reporting the incident of December 1979 when the King of Bhutan shot a rhinoceros in the Bhutanese part of Manas. It is recorded that although the horn and tail were removed, the rest of the carcass was buried. Many believed this to be a royal ceremony where once in the life-time of the monarch, one rhinoceros was to be hunted.
