Original text on this topic:
The front horns of males average 7 or 8 inches and those of females about 3 inches. I have never seen a horn, in Burma, over 10 inches in length. There are two specimens in the British Museum of Natural History, however, in which the front horns measure 32 ? inches and 27 inches. Such horns would be quite abnormal in Burma.
