Bombay Natural History Society’s mammal survey of India, Burma and Ceylon: Report no. 29: Pegu

Location Myanmar Subject Distribution Species Asian Rhinos

Bombay NHS Mammal Survey. Have found absolutely fresh tracks, but have not shot one. Very local. I think it is always a local animal in the most restricted sense. It lives for a week, a month, or considerably longer in an area of, say, three to four square miles, then moves to a considerable distance, returning often after three or four moves, to the original locality. I know a small area in the PeguYomas where a Rhino has lived for at least eighteen months. Old and fresh tracks had been found at Christmas, 1914, and I found fresh tracks, and tracks from the 1915 rains, in January, 1916.
