Young black rhino in New York Zoo. The book dates from 1917 but the picture may show one of the two animals imported in 1906. Caption (wrongly referring to white rhino): “The baby white, square-nosed African Rhino, is just sprouting his nose horn and looks proud of his achievement.” From plate at p.70 in MacNally, G.M., 1917. The babyhood of wild beasts. New York
