White Rhino |

A white rhino became stuck in a small river and in spite of terrific struggles, of which the signs were plain to see, it remained there for approx. 12 hours almost completely submerged in the water. Fortunately the ending was a happy one because a native constable, to whom the thanks of all conservationists are due, on his own initiative and with the help of some local natives, levered the animal free with long poles. The rhino suffered no ill effects.
