The principal circumstance that led to the Gorumara forest being notified as a sanctuary in November, 1940, was its content of about a dozen heads of the Great One Horned Indian Rhinoceros. For many years the number of these massive pachyderms has remained more or less constant, the reason being that the increase resulting from normal multiplication is offset by casualties amongst cows and calves inflicted by tigers, and amongst both cows and bulls inflicted by cultivators' shots in the neighbouring paddy fields.
