Behaviour - Towards Man
Black Rhino
|
| The rhinoceros generally run away from man as all animals. Sometimes they will charge without cause. I do not believe that they differ in disposition in different localities. |

| The animals were hunted for their horn (soemboe badak). While the export of these horns was important earlier, this has now almost stopped, first because the animal is only rarely met with nowadays, secondly because the population does not engage in hunting much anymore. |

| On Mt Kenia, shoots a female with a horn of 40 inches round the curve. This horn ought perhaps to be classed as R. holmwoodi, but I have a shrewd suspicion that the range of that interesting species is limited to the bazaars of Zanzibar. |
