Indian Rhino |
|
[17] Rhinoceros live in the swamps that fringe the Brahmaputra and the Manas, and in the sparsely populated tracts in the north-west corner of the district, but they are now becoming very scarce. They breed slowly, and, as the horn is worth more than its weight in silver, and the flesh is prized as food, they present a rempting mark to the native hunter.
