"Of this the muzzle is exceedingly thick and blunt, the head is very large, but the greater part of its bulk is made up of the facial bones, which are of enormous size when compared to the cranium. The legs are short and stount, and the feet have four toes, each terminated by a hoof. The eyes and ears are small." — S. G. Goodrich, 1885

"Rhinoceros Atelodus, with two well-marked species, peculiar to Africa. Incisors rudimentary or wanting, well-developed anterior and posterior horns in close contact; skin without definite permanent folds. R. bicornis, the common two-horned rhinoceros, is the smaller, and has a pointed prehensile lip. It ranges from Abyssinia to Cape Colony, but the progress of civilization and the attacks of sportsmen are rapidly reducing its numbers. Two varieties are said to exist, the square-mouthed, or white rhinoceros, has a square truncated lip, browses on grasses and frequents open country. It is the largest of the family, an adult male standing over six feet at the shoulder."—(Charles Leonard-Stuart, 1911)

"Rhinoceros– there are two well-marked species: Rhinoceros unicornis, with a single horn, and well marked folds in the skin; R. sondaicus, the Javan rhinoceros, is smaller and distinguished by the different arrangement of the folds of the skin, and by the small size or absence of the horn in the female. Found near Calcutta, in Burma, Malay Peninsula, Java, Sumatra, and probably Borneo."—(Charles Leonard-Stuart, 1911)

This is an illustration of the skeleton of a Rhinoceros.

"The head and neck are rather short; the eye is small and lateral, and the snimal cannot see in front, more particularly when the horn is full grown, as it stands in the way of vision. The body is about nine feet long and give feet high; in its structure it is perculiarly massive, heavy, and hog-like, and often weighing six thousand pounds." — S. G. Goodrich, 1885
