There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Unfortunately no weights to go along with them.
I didn´t see there anything in contradiction with a calf about one year old or a bit older to be around 600 kg. But your main point in this seems to be, that this rhino would have been much heavier and older. When only eaten part in photos is neck area, it´s impossible for me to share that. You are naturally free to believe so if you like.
So basically situation is, that I see there a calf about 600-700 kg and you see something more. Unless more information comes up, there is no point to continue this anymore.
That last sentence I wrote as a moderator. Nothing wrong in disagreeing, but enough is enough when talking about this irrelevant things concerning topic of this thread. If there is more about rhino size, weight etc. that can be written in thread concerning Greater one-horned rhino, no more in this thread :)
