Original text on this topic:
A most memorable occasion was that when the two guides who were accompanying us, located and led us up to a slumbering family of five White Rhinos at midday. They lay flat upon their sides-like gigantic pigs-amongst the grass in the shade of a magnificent Umkudzlu tree. The family consisted of a fine bull, two adult cows, a half-grown individual, and a small calf with a quaint little ?button' in place of his future formidable anterior horn.
