I am trying to locate some rhino castings, not a full animal but foot, eye, and skin textures... any ideas?

I made a lot of alginate casts from a tranquilized rhino a couple of decades ago for a work done then. Over the years, they have been tossed out, but I may be able to make some suggestions. Best bet is to visit a park or zoo and shoot up a pile of photos.
Prior to my sculpting the rhinos, I had the luxury of spending five weeks with them in Africa. Except for the few we darted, most of my references were photos shot while there at distances equal to or farther than one can approach at a zoo or wildlife park.
I still have my field notes and sketches on the subject, and perhaps some biometric data from them may assist your effort.
