. Popular official guide to the New York zoological park . Zoos. 96 POPULAR OFFICIAL GUIDE.. PYGMY HIPPOPOTAMI. The Indian One-Horned Rhinoceros is the largest of all liv- ing rhinoceroses. A full-grown male is about 5 feet, 6 inches in shoulder height, and 10 feet 6 inches long from end of nose to root of tail. The length of the horn is not great, rarely exceeding 12 inches. The skin is very thick, and lies upon the animal in great rigid slabs which are divided by articulating areas of thinner skin. The Hippopotamus, (Hippopotamus amphibius), is more frequently seen in captivity than any of the large rhinoce- roses, or the African elephant. In the lakes and large rivers of central East Africa it still exists in fair numbers, and still is killed for "sport." Strange as it may seem, this very inert and usually leth- argic monster can, under what it deems just provocation, become very angry, and even dangerous. Four years ago, in one of the rivers of Uganda, a hippopotamus not only overturned a boat, but killed one of its native occupants by biting him. The Hippopotamus breeds readily in captivity, even under poor conditions, and the supply for the zoological gardens of the world is chiefly maintained in that way. The fine male specimen exhibited in the Zoological Park was pur- chased from the Central Park Menagerie, for $3, 000, and is a gift from Mr. Samuel Thorne. He was born on July 13, 1904. His weight on November 1, 1909, at five years of age, was 3, 114 pounds; and he is growing rapidly..
