Prince of Wales Hunt in 1907. Chitwan area, six rhino calves were vaught. The Maharajah's object in trying to catch young rhinos was not, as might be inferred, either to sell them or to start a new form of sport (i.e. rhinoceros racing), but to turn the young ones down for breeding purposes in the Eastern Terai where these animals had become scarce through a disease which broke out some years ago.
