Extract
The following note on the Great Indian rhinoceros appeared in The United Services Journal, November, 1849. Though it bears out Mr. Shebbeare's opinion, given in the last Oryx, that in general this rhinoceros uses his “tushes” not his horn in attack, it does also suggest that the horn may sometimes be of use as a secondary weapon.
