Asian Rhino Species |
Rhinos can be killed in various ways:
1. They are often shot by guns.
2. To capture the animals in pits which have been made invisible and have sharpened pieces of bamboo (randjoe) in them, and to kill them afterwards.
3. Natives also use a spear (vallans), consisting of a very sharp pointed piece of bamboo, made heavier by attaching a piece of wood, which is suspended above the path made by rhinos or elephants.
