Ein weiteres ‘Durer-Hornlein’ beim Breitmaulnashorn

Note
Location World Subject Morphology Species All Rhino Species

In a film which I showed in my program 'Zoobummel International' of the German TV from the Parc Zoologique National de Rabat, another white rhino which had an additional horn on the shoulder of some centimeter long. Previous were recorded by Hediger 1970 in Indian and White rhino, who also mentioned that the horn shown by D?rer was not a phantasy of the artist. A drawing by A. Heins made in Antwerp shows a similar horn.
