Javan Rhino
|
| Although found in the swampy Sandarbans of Lower Bengal, within a day's journey of Calcutta, the Javan rhinoceros prefers forest tracts to grass-jungles, and is generally met within hilly districts where it apparently ascends in some parts of its habitat several thousand feet above sea-level. |

Indian Rhino
|
| In the jungles of Assam the Indian rhinoceros not only dwells, but is as completely concealed as is a rabbit in a cornfield. To those who have never seen Indian grass jungles, it may seem incredible that such a huge animal should be hidden by such covert, but when it is realised that the grass of... |

Indian Rhino
|
| As a matter of fact, the rhinoceros, like the Indian buffalo, makes regular tunnels, or 'runs,' among this gigantic grass; and from these retreats it may be driven out by beating with a line of elephants, or by tracking on foot. |

| In the cool weather they may wander a good deal as also during the rains, ranging along the ridges and visiting the head waters of streams. During the rainy season R. sumatrensis certainly tours through the lower-lying country, as their tracks are to be met with within, in some places, three or ... |

| Both species in this country show a decided preference for hilly tracts and even mountainous country. In the hot season they are invariably found in hilly or mountainous country, by no means necessarily well wooded, but where shade is sufficient. They rarely range far from the perennial streams i... |

Black Rhino
|
| The rhinos appear to have no hesitation in frequenting the extremely steep and difficult hills of Karagwe. Their tracks and signs were seen up and down hills and on ridges which appeared more adapted to the habits of klipspringers and goats than of such bulky animals as rhinos. |
