Revise catalogue of ceratomorph ungulates in the collection of the National museum Prague and several other collections in the Czech Republic (Perissodactyla:Rhinocerotidae, Tapiridae)
Original language description
A commented list of tapir and rhinoceros specimens deposited in the collection of the National Museum in Prague and several other Czech collections is presented. The list contains 186 specimens and 190 collection items of ceramorphs, belonging to two species of tapirs (Tapirus indicus, T. terrestris)and five species of rhinoceroses (Ceratotherium simum, C. cottoni, Diceros bicornis, cf. Dicerorhinus sumatrensis, Rhinoceros unicornis). Although the majority of specimens are represented by wild born animals, their scientific value is limited due to the absence of geographical origin (mainly in tapirs) and/ or morphological characters evidencing their geographical pecularities (e.g. only horns preserved from rhinoceroses). The collections of the NationalMuseum in Prague and Zoological Museum in Protivín contain several captive born individuals of tapirs and numerous specimens of captive rhinoceroses. These specimens of known age are well available for the calibration of age determination
