As we see, he stood 1.8 meters at the shoulder or 5.91 feet (right at six). From the looks of the measuring rod he was actually a little above 1.8. Gadadhar was the first breeding Indian rhino in the west and sired the first viable Indian rhino calf in the West - -that in 1956. The tractability of Indian rhinos appears to vary widely. Some have been notably ferocious. Others as gentle as can be. C. A. W. Guggisberg in his S.O.S. Rhino (1966) related a story from a Colonel Pollock of a professional washerman in Gowhatty (now Guwahati, Assam province, India) having a tame Indian rhino. It followed him around town carrying the laundry on his back as the man delivered it from house to house. Assam's Kaziranga Sancutary is the last real stronghold for the Indian rhinos.
