A less gigantic and smaller-headed species than the last, with theskin marked by a kind of mosaic pattern, and the fold in front of theshoulder continued right across the body like the two hindmost folds.The neck also lacks the large ring-like masses of folded skin. Hornnever very large, and generally almost or completely wanting in thefemale. A female has been measured which stood 5^ feet at theshoulder, and it is probable that the male is not much inferior inheight to the Indian species, although of lighter build.
