Great One-Horned Rhinocerous (Rhinocerous unicornis)

[Shadow]

For some reason I didn´t find rhino threads, so I decided to put here one. Maybe her could be information also about Javan and Sumatran rhinos, which are extremely endangered species!! Siberian tigers and Asiatic lions are thriving compared to those two species.

Anyway rhinos are interesting animals and I think, that they deserve own topic, maybe all subspecies in one thread or Asian and African with own threads. After all rhinos are (imo) in a way quite iconic animals, who haven´t admired those as a little child, when looking how they rammed against cars etc. in nature documents :) That change from peaceful giant eating grass to berserk bulldozer in a split second when irritated...

But I start to put here information about greater one-horned rhinos or as those are also called, Indian rhinos.

Here link to one old research, quite long one and a lot of good information about size, behavior, differences between ages etc. etc.

That link opens site where THE ECOLOGY AND BEHAVIOUR OF THE GREATER ONE-HORNED RHINOCEROS by William Andrew Laurie can be downloaded as 2 pdf files.
It is: A dissertation submitted to the University of Cambridge for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy

Quite much to read, but pdf allows searching by keywords too. Reply
