Dicerorhinus sumatrensis for Copenhagen. 'Subur' was shipped first to Singapore where she was met by the Curator from the Copenhagen Zoo, Mr Arne Schiotz, who remained with her, night and day until she left for Denmark - there was a very real danger of her horn being cut off if she were left alone, since throughout the Far East rhino horn is highly valued as it is believed to have aphrodisiac properties.
