The greater one-horned rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) is one of the most recognizable wild animals of Nepal’s Terai and a key species protected in Chitwan National Park. For visitors, a Chitwan wildlife safari can be memorable when they see a rhino moving through tall grass, standing near a waterhole, or crossing a forest track. Its single horn, massive body, thick folded skin, and grey-brown appearance make it easy to identify.
