Sumatran Rhino |
A native chieftain told us that the animals once were very numerous on the plateau at Blangbeke. Scattered about the blangs we saw many shallow clay-lined pools in which he said the rhinos used to wallow. The pawong and his men hunted the rhinos here twenty years ago, using both guns and dead-falls over the rhino trails.
