...subcontinent's rarest animals. Visitors to Kaziranga ride on elephant-back to catch a glimpse of the one-horned Indian rhino, an animal once nearly hunted into extinction but now making a comeback; afterward, they head off in search of Kaziranga's other attractions, which include bison and wild boar.
