The Return of Kaziranga’s Greater One-horned Rhinoceros

Rhino dung is a source of great knowledge. Scientists are creating a database of rhinoceros DNA, extracted from their massive dungheaps, to track populations, and use it as forensic evidence to catch poachers.

In 1908 there were only about a dozen greater one-horned rhinos left in Assam’s Kaziranga National Park, today an estimated 2613 thrive in its swampy landscape.
