Sumatran Rhino
|
| Defecation takes place in water as well as on land, the droppings round like tennis balls but I have never seen or heard of the pyramids of cannon balls piled in one place. |

Sumatran Rhino
|
| Places to wallow in the mud were always necessary. I saw a good one in the Ular Bulu mountains on the water-shed between the Rejang river and the Mukah river. The crest of the ridge went up and down and in one of the downs a Rhino had made a muddy pond about ten feet by five feet and three feet... |

|
| Rhinos are apparently seen only at the end of the dry season (April and May) and at the beginning of the rainy season (May and June). In this period they seem to spend their time in or near ponds, creeks, or rivers. Rhinos and elephants live in the same kind of habitat, which might explain why m... |

Black Rhino
|
| Wallows used by buffalo and rhinoceros may consist simply of an area of churned up, damp mud, insufficiently deep to act as a pool. Both these species apply mud to themselves by rolling and wallowing, and have no effective means of scooping it up unto themselves. Rhinoceros will horn the soil a... |
