Sumatran Rhino (sumatrensis)
Tengkoe Ibrahim, chief of Rokan, told me that in 1912 he went to the Simalamboe mountains, partly within his territory, to hunt rhinos. As the animal is very shy and has a sharp sense of smell, they wore dark clothes and had rubbed leaves on their body to mask their body odour. The rhinoceros here only lives on high lonely mountain tops.
