The near extermination of the species has been rapid. In Sabah, a little over eighty years ago, in the vicinity of Sandakan, Pryer (1881) found rhinoceroses `not infrequent; the tracks of one or two may usually be seen in the course of a walk in the low districts.' There are specimens from Sandakan, collected by W. B. Pryer in 1886 (BMNH)
