The second type (kabaoba) is directed forwards, so that the anterior surface is often much worn by repeated contact with the ground when its owner grazes: this is well seen in the type kabaoba horn which Col. Steele presented to the British Museum many years ago. The kabaoba was long described as a separate species under the name of Rhinoceros oswellii, but this distinction is now abandoned, as intermediate forms between the two have been observed.
