Saanane Island, Tanzania. A male of 2 years captured in Tarime District developed symptoms of trypanosomiasis. By the time he was cured of the illness (it is frquently fatal), he was completely tame. This is by no means extraordinary since even mature rhinos become tame in captivity in a surprisingly short time.
