Long before L&T, Kirloskar and TVS factories, Rhinos roamed near today’s Coimbatore thousands of years ago
Archaeologists have discovered Indian rhinoceros bone fragments at a neolithic site near Coimbatore, dating back to 3,500 years ago. This find suggests the Western Ghats foothills once supported vast grasslands, a stark contrast to the region's current industrial landscape. The discovery expands the known ancient habitat of the Indian rhino.
