Im not sure if any one knows this, but while reading this I not fine its role in the food chain, if some one could point out it to me i would be it would be much appreciated.
It plays the same role as other ungulates in its habitat.

"With size equal that of the white rhino in Africa, it is the second largest land animal, after the elephants."
There are three species of elephants, all bigger, so the Indian rhino has a shared fourth place, together with the white rhino. JAL 82.92.15.150 13:54, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

"The rhino once inhabited areas from Pakistan to Burmese and may have even roamed Myanmar and China. "
Burmese is supposed to be Myanmar but then it has even roamed Myanmar so this means Burma and not Burmese?

This is a sentence from the gaur article:
"A fight has been reported between a male Indian rhino and a bull gaur, reflecting the strength and courage of the gaur."
Can anyone tell me where in the world do rhino and gaur share habitat? As far as I know, rhino only lives in Kaziranga, india, where the gaur is absent. Answer: I heard that a gaur once injured an Indian rhino in the San Diego Wild Animal Park. I believe that the Indian rhino was badly hurt. Is the Indian rhino in the picture at the Toronto Zoo Patrick, the first Indian rhino born alive in the Western Hemisphere, in 1974 at the Washington D.C. Zoo? One was born dead in the Milwaukee County Zoo I think in 1967.

"it is the fourth-largest land animal, after the three elephant species" and where are the giraffes in this story? Unless the article meant the fourth-heaviest.
Can anyone answer me?
Large means not just height, but mass.  Giraffes are "tall", but not "large".  Large animals include hippos, rhinos, and elephants. - lucasuvu March 12, 2010  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.105.204.243 (talk) 06:48, 12 March 2010 (UTC) 

Indian rhinos and gaur both live in Royal Chitwan in Nepal, to answer the above question.

Isn't that figure a bit ludicrous?
Also, shouldn't it be in kilometers per hour?
In any case, it should require a source.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.100.154.81 (talk) 11:32, 7 December 2007 (UTC) 

Good catch!  The page was just temporarily vandalized it looks like.  Ideally it should be in both kph and mph.  I'll try to find a source at some point today! --JayHenry (talk) 14:43, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Does anybody insist to keep this table in the text ?? I acknowledge that somebody has laboriously entered all the figures. But it is incomplete and poorly referenced. Therefore, I place it here for the time being. -- BhagyaMani (talk) 15:44, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Is it really objectively a good thing to have on the article?
I was a bit astounded to see it there.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.249.29.217 (talk) 02:15, 19 July 2011 (UTC) 

It is an odd entry in the article, and I don't feel that it belongs in this encyclopedia.  For reference, it was added on December 7, 2010 by BhagyaMani (talk · contribs): [2]. — Myasuda (talk) 13:16, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Before there were only 600 rhinos left but due to the active effort of Nepal Government, now there are 3500 rhinos globally l! Theprashant1218 (talk) 14:33, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

The image File:RHINOCEROS FIGHT AT BARODA from page 299 of "Cyclopedia universal history - embracing the most complete and recent presentation of the subject in two principal parts or divisions of more than six thousand pages" (1895) (14596672017).jpg is not of Indian rhinoceros as the rhinos in the drawing have two horns. It should be removed   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  20:52, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

I think it is a misinterpretation of Indian Rhino because African Rhino has no body skin folds and Sumatran Rhino has skin folds but it is a small animal in size. John Clark Ridpath had drawn this art in 1895, it is supposed to be based on folk tales and he was not a spectators of the game. P@rik$hit 06:30, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
The original caption to this drawing credits it to Émile Bayard who may not have seen an Indian rhino either. I suggest to move this to the gallery of works by Bayard. -- BhagyaMani (talk) 17:02, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
