In Perak, lower Malay Peninsula, however, two individuals have been killed in the last thirty years, the mounted heads of which are now in the Selangor Museum of the Federated Malay States. Both these animals were savage, and given to unprovoked attacks. The Pinjih rhino was a well-known individual and had been the terror of the valley long before the British occupation in 1874. It had killed at least three men and only large and well-armed parties went into its area. The 1924 cow rhino had come to notice through its having attacked a Chinese who was tapping jelutong in the forest. He was charged three times, tossed, and chased, but managed to escape. It was said that there was a second rhino in the neighborhood.
