Sumatran Rhino
|
| The lower incisor teeth are very sharp and point forward, it bites fiercely with these in defence though I have never heard of anyone getting hurt - even the Punan who crept up to a Rhino, seized its tail with one hand and speared it with the other. |

From the few reports made since 1935 it seems that trapping... |

| Ten years later, T. Harrisson (1949) wrote, `There are now almost certainly no rhinoceros left in Sarawak', although he was able to report observations in 1946 from the upper S. Padas, in Sabah, and in 1945 from S. Raya and from high ground in the upper S. Bahau in Kalimantan. In the Kelabit upl... |

Sumatran Rhino
|
| By the early 1930s, rhinoceroses could still be found in most parts of Borneo, but under acute hunting pressure survived only in remote and inaccessible terrain (Banks, 1931a; Zondag, 1931; Keller, 1932; Witkamp, 1932a). Banks (1931a) concluded, rather surprisingly in the light of his own eviden... |

| Yet in 1836, in the neighbourhood of Banjermasin, M?ller (1839-40) found no traces; his informant described a rhinoceros seen in the upper S. Kahayan, Central Kalimantan.

| In West Kalimantan, B?ttikofer found tracks and fresh droppings on the higher slopes of G. Liang Kubung, upper S. Kapuas, although not in the surrounding plains; he also reported that Malay rhino hunters were active, and regretted his own bad luck in not getting a specimen (Jentink, 1897). In 19... |
