The story of Ganda, the rhinoceros
In 1514, Ganda the rhino, was sent to King Manuel I of Portugal as a diplomatic gift by Sultan Muzaffar Shah II of Cambay (present day Gujarat, India). It was the first rhino in Europe since Roman times and people flocked to the main square of Lisbon to see its arrival. Roman historian Pliny had written that rhinos and elephants were bitter enemies and, eager to test this theory, the King organized a fight against an elephant from its menagerie. The nervous elephant fled in panic as soon as the rhino approached, confirming its status and strength.
Despite Ganda’s triumph, King Manuel decided to send it to the Pope in order to consolidate his prestige. Unfortunately, the boat sank on a sudden storm off the coast of Italy and Ganda, shackled to the ship, was unable to escape and perished.
Ganda’s fame would last longer than his journey, though. Its memory lives on thanks to a famous 1515 print by the artist Albrecht Dürer, The Rhinocerus, based on descriptions found in letters sent by Portuguese merchants.
It would go on to become one of the most famous images in history and Ganda, the Rhinocerus, remains the most famous animal of the renaissance.
500 years later, we are committed to the preser vation of this magnificent endangered animal.
