The Indian rhinoceros, or greater one-horned rhinoceros, (Rhinoceros unicornis) has a single horn 20 to 100 cm long. It is nearly as large as the African white rhino. Its thick, silver-brown skin forms huge folds all over its body. Its upper legs and shoulders are covered in wart-like bumps, and it has very little body hair. Grown males are larger than females in the wild, weighing from 2,500-3,200 kg (5,500-7,100 lb). Shoulder height is 1.75-2.0 m (5.75-6.5 ft). Females weigh about 1,900 kg and are 3-4 m long.
