Rhinoceros horn are an article of trade but the quantity is very limited, the natives being more afraid of this animal than of the elephant or even the tiger. He is considered courageous who will venture near the spot where one may be luxuriating in the cool mud of a creek, for the animal it is said, almost invariably attacks any person whom he sees near him. On such occasions he uses his teeth.
