[13] The Rhinoceros indicus, Rhinoceros sondaicus and Rhinoceros malayan are all found in the district; the last named is very rare but has been shot in the Dalgaon forest. The Rhinoceros indicus appears to be increasing and I have myself seen over twenty fresh rhinoceros beds while shooting in a grass jungle north of Silitorsa.
