Original text on this topic:
From experience on Lake Kariba, black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) settle down to pen feeding after capture far more quickly than white rhinoceros. The black rhinoceros is very fond of ripe paw paws (Carica papaya) and will readily accept a half paw paw containing a dose of Neguvon P. The latter is now routine practice with all rhinoceros caught on the Lake Kariba during ?Operation Noah'.
