This proved difficult, because the area where the rhinoceros prefers to live is densely grown with either shrubs with many kinds of areuj-species (creepers) or with salaria, the bamboo doeri (Lantana camara). We had to bend over for hours on end following the tunnels made by the rhino and had to wage a continuous war against creepers and thorn-bushes, without any view. The only indication that we were gaining on the animal were the strong smell of urine in the tunnels and the dung-heaps of the animal in the form of a pyramid.
