We used the left testis of a greater Indian rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) which died of pneumonia in 16th July 1995 at Tama Zoological Park (Tokyo, Japan). The animal, weighing approximately 2,000 kg, was estimated to be about 42 years old. It has been recorded that this rhinoceros successfully reproduced only one male offspring in 1973 at Tama Zoological Park.
