(Rhinoceros Indicus and Rhinoceros Sondaicus) have
incisor and canine teeth, but only one horn, and the
very thick skin forms shieldlike folds. The two or
three African species belong to Atelodus, and have
two horns, but lack the dermal folds, and the incisor

two-horned species belong to Ceratohinus, in which
incisor and canine teeth are present. See Borele, and
