The Indian rhinoceros; or greater one-horned rhinoceros; (Rhinoceros unicornis) has a single horn 20 to 100 cm long. It is nearly as large as the African white rhino. Its thick; silver-brown skin forms huge folds all over its body. Its upper legs and shoulders are covered in wart-like bumps; and it has very little body hair. Grown males are larger than females in the wild; weighing from 2;500-3;200 kg (5;500-7;100 lb). Shoulder height is 1.75-2.0 m (5.75-6.5 ft). Females weigh about 1;900 kg and are 3-4 m long. The record-sized specimen was approximately 3;800 kg.
Indian rhinos once inhabited many areas ranging from Pakistan to Burma and maybe even parts of China. However; because of human influence; they now only exist in several protected areas of India (in Assam; West Bengal; and a few pairs in Uttar Pradesh) and Nepal; plus a few pairs in Lal Suhanra National Park in Pakistan. It is confined to the tall grasslands and forests in the foothills of the Himalayas. Two-thirds of the world's Indian rhinoceroses are now confined to the Kaziranga National Park situated in the Golaghat district of Assam; India. Pictures From History
