You could ask an expert, everyone is welcomed here. Though, I thought it was clear now that Schleich figure is an Indian rhino (R. unicornis). As most of the features are undistinguishable from a female Indian rhino to a Javan rhino, they tell that the nape shield is an efficient way to identify them. While Javan rhino has a nape shield clearly divided, Indian rhinos have them merged on top forming a single one. Please check the arrows on Bullyland figure, you can see both shields clearly divided. You cannot see it on Schleich's figure, you can see the typical Indian rhino shield instead. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] - SUSANNE wrote:

Thanks a lot Susanne for accepting my request. Sometimes it is good to remember how innovative was Bullyland in the past. |
