In West Bengal Great Indian One Horned Rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) is confined to Gorumara National Park (80 km2) and Jaldapara Wildlife Sanctuary (216.5 km2) in mosaic of various vegetation types (Ghosh, 1991). There are few studies on various aspects of Rhino ecology and management strategies in this part of the country (Ghosh, 1991, Pandit and Yadav, 1995; Anon, 1997). Jaldapara Wildlife Sanctuary has population of 40 Rhinos and Gorumara National Park has 14 Rhinos. The population figure shows an increasing trend over the last decade. However, question has been raised over the future of this species in such small, isolated and fragmented patch of forests (Nandi, 1993; Bist, 1994; Raha andYadav, 1996).
