Sometimes called the two horned rhino, yours is a male. Here they are fighting. http://www.nature-photogallery.eu/foto/1... This one has longer horn than usual and I am not certain of the subspecies. I would cautiously guess that you have X. G. sumatrensis which is more brown in color and longer in the horns. Xylotrupes Gideon Sumatrensis http://www.myspace.com/vincentkapwome/ph...
