The Epic History of Rhinos
- throwaway_97 11y ago>They survive in northern India and southern Nepal. There are no rhinos in northern India. There are only in Assam(Kaziranga and Manas national parks) which is in north-east and let me assure you that is not remotely close(geographically) or similar(regarding climate) to northern India.
- tzs 11y agoThere are around 30 in Dudhwa National Park in Uttar Pradesh.
- throwaway_97 11y agoCorrect me if I'm wrong but UP lost its last rhino in 1878 in Pilibhit forests. All the new rhinos are the ones rehabilitated from Assam.
