The hunt of the rhinoceros used to be very cruel. The animal was caught with so-called 'toekas', which is erected above a shallow pit and is covered with thick branches. If an elephant or a rhino fall into the pit, a mechanism is activated which lowers a long heavy piece of wood withan iron point, which enters the body of the animal.
