Black Rhino
|
| The rhinoceros is the most stupid animal imaginable. His idiotic fury makes it a very dangerous animal. When one encounters a rhinoceros in the bush, he generally does what all animals do: he runs away. It is, however, not strange to be charged by a rhinoceros when one does not even know its p... |

Indian Rhino
|
| The temperament of the animal is never kind. It can never be trusted, and although it looks indefensive when sleeping, it is quite brutal in the attack. |

Indian Rhino
|
| When driven into the open, the animal will often stand for a few minutes, shaking its ears, before it makes up its mind in which direction to flee. A calf and its mother always issue forth together, but the old bulls and cows keep mostly apart, although both may have their home in the same patch... |

|
| That the Sumatran Rhino will attack a human without being prompted, I have experienced myself. Around 5 pm, I was in company of 3 locals, when we came to a small open place in the forest which we had to cross. One of the men whispered: 'Sir, there is a rhino over there.' And indeed I saw, at a... |

Sumatran Rhino

| Burmans and Karens, as a rule, with the exception perhaps of the hunters, are much afraid of these animals, and this is perhaps not to be wondered at if we bear in mind the very ferocious character attributed to them. They are said to attack human beings without provocation, and to be most vindi... |
