Original text on this topic:
The black rhino is only found in Katanga. Photo of a black rhino killed in Karanga by Mr. Sharp. Katanga is in S.E. of Congo. It is still relatively numerous on the high plateaus of the Marungus. It is almost extinct near Albertville, where it was rather numerous on the high land near the Lukuga River before the war. The necessity to have black troops during the campagn in East Africa was their coup de grace.
