"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)
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)

The Indian rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) is a species of rhinoceros that once ranged across the entire northern part of the Indian subcontinent. As a result of habitat destruction and climatic changes, its range was gradually reduced such that, by the 19th century, it survived only in southern Nepal, northern Uttar Pradesh, northern Bihar, northern West Bengal, and in the Brahmaputra Valley in Assam. The species's range has since shrunk further, and its habitat is surrounded by human-dominated landscapes, so that in many areas, it occurs in cultivated areas, pastures, and secondary forests. It is currently listed as a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List. This adult male Indian rhinoceros was photographed on the banks of the Gandaki River in Nepal.

That's about it from me. Looking good, just a few minor things that should be quick to fix.
