2. Rhinoceros

gerous to capture. as DR.. Will
liam M. Mann, director of the
Zoo, can attest. Before the
acquisition of Gunda he was
a long time on the trail of a
rhino, which he has described
as fantastic as the mighty
animals of the prehistoric
Carboniferous Swamps."
From the standpoint of the
zoo," he says, ut is one of
the rarest of all large animals
in collections and little short
of impossible to obtain"
In 1899, after he had been
on a trip to the East and had
returned empty-handed, as
far as a rhino was con-
cerned, he got a cable from
India that a young male had
been caught in a pit. That
pit was 8 miles from the near
est road and the forest had to
be hacked out all the way in
order to make a route for a
motor truck that finally
brought the beast out. He was

THE CLOSEST thing in the
Il Zoo to an Army tank is
Gunda, the Indian rhinoc-
eros.
An armor-plated hide, a
great single horn on his snout
and 5000 pounds of fast
moving bulk make the rhino
one of the most feared beasts
of the wilderness.
Gunda, however, has been
dehorned since he has been
in captivity, thus depriving
him of his greatest offensive
weapon. Not that this seems
to give him any worry as he
placidly goes about the all
important business of MUNICH
ing his fodder.
This rare specimen is a
thing of wonder to the animal
experts, as well as the small
fry, for there are probably
less than a dozen rhinos in
captivity in the United States,
Europe and Asia. They are
extremely difficult and dan

Who's Who at the Zoo

3l2 years old when brought
here.
The rhinoceros is found in
Asia and Africa. The ASiatic
rhinos have the folds in their
heavy hides which give the
appearance of armor. The
African rhinoS have no such
folds.
The biggest of the Asiatic
rhinos is the Indian, such as
Gunda. These have only one
horn on the nose. The African
rhinos and one type of Asiatic
rhinO have two horns.
A grumpy beast, with poor
eyesight, the rhino, in its ma
tive habitat, is quick to at
tack. Despite its bulk it can
move with surprising agility.
Ferocious though it is when
enraged, DR.. Mann tells of
one in the London Zoo which
would allow its keeper to
stroke its head through the
bars of the cage, keeping it's
eyes closed during the pet
ting, much as would a pet
cat. There is, according to DR..
Mann, a variety in Java so
docile. the natives saddle them
and ride them like horses.
Down through the ages
much superstition has at
tached to the rhinoceros-
which may be what the early
story-tellers had in mind
when they talked about the
unicorn. Its picture is found
in ancient Chinese hero
glyphics and, according to DR..
Mann, rhinos were pitted
against lions in the Roman
arena, but there is no record
of the outcome of such slug
tests.
Back in the Middle Ages
there was a superstition that
a drinking cup made out of a
rhino horn would reveal the
presence of poison. The story
went that when poison was
mixed with wine in a rhino
horn the mixture would
"cleave in two" That super
stition has persisted in some
backward areas, and that,
coupled with the use of the
horn in China in medical
remedies has led to great de-
mand for the horns. That
probably accounts for the
scarcity of the beasts today.

Holmes Bulldogs Hold
First Place In Junior
College Association

The Holmes Bulldogs rolled over
the fighting Eagles from Kinds
1912 last week. The win gave
Holmes sole possession of first
place in the Junior College As
ISOLATION standings. The Bulldogs
are the only team in the l4-mem-
Der association with but a single
loss this season in games played
to-date.
Holmes has two remaining
games with teams that have failed
thus far to break into the win
column, and only an upset would
prevent the Patrick Oswald coach
ed combine from annexing the
1850 coveted j. c. Crown.

Thursday night, November 16, to
