He was genetically valuable, since his species was (and is) endangered in a region where people believe rhino horns possess medicinal value. Only 2,600 wild Indian rhinos remain. He lives a quiet life, in a non-exhibited part of the zoo

- samard2002, on 06/25/2008, -1/+8What an absolutely pointless article. I have no idea what I just read. Was it an excerpt from something bigger?
- rushiku, on 06/25/2008, -0/+4WTF is it with flipping 'folk medicine'? The larger the animal you have to kill in order to get the smallest amount of material, the greater it's potency...or so the logic seems.
Blue Whale pimple pus? Cures death, but only if you leave the rest of the animal to rot. - Renian, on 06/25/2008, -0/+4Nothing is more serious than a rhinoceros about to charge your ass.
- IglooBurner, on 06/25/2008, -0/+2Just take away his credit card.
- bobby22, on 06/25/2008, -0/+4I'd like to see a pic of Mohan sporting his shoes
- BigMeanTam, on 06/25/2008, -0/+0That reporter had an odd angle... I know one of the authors, and the article was supposed to really be more about the book featuring Mohan, and other animals (see www.rhinowithglueonshoes.com).
Not sure what he was really trying for with that article... - larissa13, on 06/25/2008, -0/+2Could have been a cool story about a rhinos life in captivity and the unknowns that go along with it...like the shoes. And no picture of the featured rhino?
- asisin, on 06/25/2008, -0/+2Get your facts straight, its the Chinese who believe in rhino horn and dick cures for their illnesses.
- Andrwmorph, on 06/25/2008, -0/+1I hate stupid poor people.
"Hay guyz rhino horns cure acne! Lets kill the ***** out of them!" - DesdinovaEL, on 06/25/2008, -0/+1That article was almost unreadable
- DrRhino, on 06/26/2008, -0/+0Hey all, I'm new here so take it easy on me... I know that rhino pretty well, and the book, since I helped write it. I posted a blog about Mohan today, with a picture of him, his feet, and the shoes. http://www.drlucyspelman.com/blog/dr-lucy
