Many tribal groups in Laos consider rhino hunting to be taboo. They believe that rhinos have powerful phi or evil spirits, which, if they are interfered with, can wreak terrible vengeance on a hunter or his family. For this reason it was hard to obtain detailed information about rhinos from these people. But it also adds significance to the few facts we were able to coax from the villagers.
