Sumatran Rhino
|
| That the Sumatran Rhino will attack a human without being prompted, I have experienced myself. Around 5 pm, I was in company of 3 locals, when we came to a small open place in the forest which we had to cross. One of the men whispered: 'Sir, there is a rhino over there.' And indeed I saw, at a... |
