Original text on this topic:
We later came on a heap of the rhino's faeces, somewhat similar to horse's droppings. It is well known to a rhino poacher that a rhinoceros is wont to return to the same spot to defecate, a habit it shares with some of the antelopes, and this, as often as not, leads to its destruction, the poacher occupying a machan over the spot.
