Original text on this topic:
Rubbing stone in Kaokoveld. One is frequented by elephant and warthog, another is used by rhino only. We have seen and found that the rhino will not use the elephant stone and vice versa. The elephant will pass the rhino stone, although sniffing at the stone without rubbing. So also does the rhino when passing the elephant stone. The rhino stone is about 80 cm high and 500 m from the water.
