Black Rhino |
A new type of black rhino from the Kunene area in South West Africa was imported in 1922 by Hagenbeck. It is different by its remarkably small size, very short occiput and long legs, and I gave it the name Diceros bicornis occidentalis.
This discovery made me to revise the genus Diceros, and it was ready in a manuscript of 90 pages, with 75 original photographs, but it was destroyed in the war and can never be reconstructed.
