Thanks to their thick hide, rhinos can easily force their way through even the wildest and densest vegetation. Even in the high shrubs of the Uele, where sometimes the grass is 4 to 5 metres high at the end of the wet season, they force their paths without much effort. They seem totally at ease in such environment, crushing everything that comes in their paths. It is curious to note that in the Uele, the white rhino often walk on paths which were used previously, which form actual roads often leading to some kind of water. For men, these paths are also very useful, and one often uses these rhino paths to go through the more difficult terrains of the Uele.
