The existence of the rhinoceros on Borneo has long remained doubtful among zoologists. Salomon M?ller did not find tracks of the animal when he traversed Banjermassin and he had only heard from the local people, always a less reliable source, that they would occur there. However rare the animals are, they seem to occur everywhere in Central and Northern Borneo.
