Original text on this topic:
Female tossing logs / baby. There is a legend in Burma which i have heard quoted in widely separated parts of the country that one of the reasons for the slow rate of increase in rhinoceros is due to the female tossing logs off the track over her back, killing the young. Alternatively this story is rendered as the calf itself being thus thrown into the air.
