Ruwoorneushoorn
Sumatraanse Neushoorn
The Sumatran Rhinoceros undoubtedly is part of the original branch of the evolutionary tree and is the one leading us the deepest into the series of Tertiary rhinoceroses. His molars are the closest to those of horses, they remain short and without cement, his hide is relatively thin and very hairy. He is smaller and his second horn is set very much back.
I saw a living example of this mainland form in the London Zoo. It already lived there for quite some time, and a female of the same species which died there in 1900 had lived there for 32 years. The front horn was a big and strong weapon, in comparison with the small body, and the second one was much smaller.
Similar to the example drawn by M?tzel (in Hecks Thierreich), there is a Sumatran Rhinoceros which I saw many years ago in the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, only it was more hairy.
