| Rhinoceri are usually found in swamps where the reeds and grass are very dense, remaining hidden, often asleep, during the day: at night they come out to feed on the edge of the forest. We usually came across them on the edge of some inland jheel or lake, where the water was surrounded by dense ... |

| The rhinoceros, which is found everywhere in these elevated regions, ascends with an astonishing swiftness, even to the highest top of the mountains; it is on that account that this animal is so rarely to be found, and that it was frequently pursued in vain. |

| Java, Preanger. The rhinoceros has a habit to push on to the end of the highest mountain, and its paths have often been useful to us in the dense forest. These paths even extended to the top of the Patoeha and across the difficult Goenoeng Goentoer, over the sharp lava along the crater. |
