Black Rhino |
Unlike the restless Elephant on his perpetual round of feeding grounds and water holes, Rhino remain year in and year out in their own little patch of bush or forest, and to move a family of them needs considerable and persistent persecution. They have thus suffered more than Elephant by the opening up of the Colony; for they won't move and they won't make friends.
In spite of this, Kenya has still a vast number of these great beasts. They are nowadays found mostly in the thick mountain forests or the equally dense thornbush and sansevieria country; only in the Southern Game Reserve may one commonly expect to find them wandering on the open plains at high noon, as they did of old.
