Taxonomy - Evolution
Sumatran Rhino
|
| It is, in conclusion, interesting to observe that the distinctness of the two genera Rhinoceros and Ceratorhinus, as shown by other characters - external, cranial, and visceral - is confirmed by these differences in the sexual organs. |

| The natives declare a three-horned species exists, and I have seen a skull which I should not like to say was not a three-horned one, the third horn, however, being very small. |

Behaviour - Towards Man
Sumatran Rhino
|
| If the animal is angered, it will attack anything. One day my 16-year old Batta helper had to flee behind a tree and was wearing a long curved sword. He hit the animal so many times from behind the tree that in the end it fell down and died from loss of blood. |
