Indien, in Wort und Bild: Eine Schilderung des Indischen Kaiserreiches

They used to occur around the Indus, but they have disappeared there.

The rhinoceros occur in the Kosi River (in the Nepal Himalayas), a leftsided tributary of the Ganges shortly before its turn southwards.

The indian species has sometimes one, sometimes two horns.

The rhinoceros uses its horn like the hogs use their incisors, and in Nepal they will even attack elephants.

In the courts of the Indian kings the fights between rhinos and elephants are seen as royal sport.
