Mozambique. I killed 2 females and a male. The male differed from the females by having longer horns and a more prehensile snout, which makes me think that the Rhinoceros keitloa of Smith is not a specific characteristic, but only sexullay differenbt from Rh. bicornis. The first figure of this type by Camper was already a form between the R. keitloa and R. bicornis of Smith.
