Indian Rhino |
|
Rhinoceros are becoming now scarce, but are occasionally met with in the swampy grounds in the wilder portions of the district. They breed slowly, and their horns are worth more than their weights in silver. The two-horned variety of rhinoceros is said to be found in the desolate hills which lie between Assam and the Khampu valley.
