Black Rhino

| In the rhino the testis is situated extra-abdominally in the usual position and it was decided to use the classic castration approach. A skin incision was made over the ventral aspect of the scrotum, through the parietal tunica vaginalis and the testis was exposed. The one testis was then lifte... |

| The initial thermoregulatory response of the rhinoceros species was an increased CML. A skin sample was taken from the experimental area (right dorsal aspect of the last three ribs) of a black rhinoceros and the numerous, highly convoluted sweat glands which were found are shown in Fig. 1. |

| Taxonomically the rhinoceros is allied to the horse. A similar lay-out of the lower alimentary system corroborates this idea. The lower alimentary canal of the rhino consists of a big J-shaped stomach, a tortuous small intestine and a caecum forming a large cul-de-sac inter-calated between the ... |

| The erroneous notion that palpebral vibrissae (eyelashes) are wanting from the lower eyelid of the Rhinocerotidae is attributable to Pocock (1914), whose observations were apparently made on museum skins and mounted specimens only. Examination of living and of freshly dead specimens shows such v... |
