Carnival OF THE ASIATIC RHINOCEROS. a
Very recently imported and added to this collection
The magnitude of this ENTERPRISE can scarcely be
appreciated by the public. The enormous labor,
cost and anxiety consequent to its capture and trans
portation are incalculabe. This is the second Rh-
noceros ever brought alive to America and the third
or fourth ever shipped from Asia. This stupendous
and Formidable creature arrived from the East In
dies, consigned to Raymond 4 Waring since their
Mouagcrie commenced the summer tour, and of
course has been but very recently added to their
collection. 1t is in fine order of the largest size and
notwithstanding its recent capture, is perfectly do
Gle. Although the rhnoceros is untamable, he is
neither ferocious orcarniverous. He is found 1.-THE
marshy places Of Asia and Africa, Bengal, Siam,
Laos, the Mogul Dominions, Sunmatra, Java, Abys-
sinia and the Cape Of Good Hope. His skin even
resists the ball of musket; those of lead become
penetrate through it.
The only places penetrable in his hinge curiass en-
cascd body, the belly, the eyes, and about the
ears OF all quadrupeds he is only inferior to the
elephant in size and strength. He carries upon his
nose very formidable weapon, which is peculiar to
himself, very hard horn, which s solid throughout,
and which is between three and four fee. in length
1t is with this weapon that the Rhinoceros is said to
attack, and sometimes nortally wound the largest
Elephants, whose long legs give the Rhinoceros who
has them much shorter, an opportunity Of striking
his antagonist with it under the body, buff he
misses the first blow, the Elephant throws him on
the ground and instantly kills him.
The specimen here offered for exhibition weighs
5G2S lbs measures u feet from the end Of the snout
to the tip Of the taithe circumference Of the body
is very nearly equal to its length. Some idea of the
prOdigous weight and bulk Of this creature may be
formed from e fact hat six Of the strongest horses
that could be procured are necessary to set in mo-
