Maharaja Jang Bahadur was very succesful this year; they killed several and wounded a large number of rhinoceros. Generally the elephants are afraid of them.
Nepal - hide. Out of the skin, after being cleaned and cured, they make capital water-buckets.
The great beat for rhinoceros is along the valley of the Rapti River, in the neighbourhood of Chitaun (at or near the confluence of the Rapti and the Manhauri rivers).
The horns of rhinos of the eastern Terai and Chittagong are much the longer, finer in texture and better coloured, having little or no white in them, and, from being harder, take a finer polish.
The horn of the male is larger and rougher at the base but is not generally so long as that of the female.
The male uses his horn much more than the female in fighting, rubbing against trees &c. and generally manages to break or wear the end off so as to shorten it.
