Extinct rhino spotted again

The three-horned rhino [sic] is said to be roaming the jungles of West Kalimantan. The existence of the animal came to light when a villager applied for a license to hunt rhinos, said a local leader, Aschmad Satip. The 50-year old villager, Jubak, said that he had spotted a herd of 20 three-horned rhino in a remote village in West Kalimantan. `The rhinos are much larger than water buffaloes. And as far as I can recall, the animals have three horns. The third one is precisely on the nose' Jubak said. The villager had his application rejected by the West Kalimantan Governor.
