The teunoembo (teuneumbo, senoembo, also gedaboehon, kenoemnoekan, dedaboekan and aloe-aloe) is a trap used to kill elephant and rhinoceros. On the side of a track used by the pachyderm, a long stick is placed vertically and secured tightly by some poles driven into the ground. On the upper side the sticks are connected by rotans. Then a rotan is stretched just above the ground, in order that the animal will kick against it when he follows the track. This rotan is stretched through the sticks upwards where it is attached to a heavy, pointed, shap knife. Attached to the knife is a long and heavy pole. When the animal touches the rotan, the knife falls down and is driven deep into the neck. The hunters are hidden nearby and follow and continue to wound the animal until it drops, when it is killed with knoves.
In case of the rhinoceros, some people will put knives on the track in order that these will cut open the belly.
