Narayangadh: A female one-horned rhino was found dead at Bhagadi, Bharatpur Metropolitan City-26 in the buffer zone of the Chitwan National Park (CNP) today.

Park information officer Ganesh Prasad Tiwari said that the carcass of a female rhino which appeared aged was found at the Park’s Kalabanjar Buffer Zone Users Community Forest. 

According to him, the horn and hooves of the dead rhino are intact and no signs of wounds are seen on the animal’s body. Similarly, no suspicious articles were found at the location.

Based on this, Tiwari said, the rhino might have died of natural causes, probably due to age.

A team of veterinarians from the CNP has already reached the site and the cause of the rhino’s death will be known after the team carries out a post-mortem examination. He said further investigations are on in this connection.
