| The square-mouthed rhinoceros is always spoken of as a most mild and inoffensive creature, very sluggish and unsuspicious; its sight is very bad, though scent and hearing seem to be acute; this no doubt is so, and accounts to a great extent for its almost total extermination, but at the same time... |

Black Rhino

| I consider the rhino an overrated beast and cannot think that he cannot be really dangerous in any but thick country. He certainly will charge, unprovoked at times, but it is only a blundering resentment at the unwelcome scent of the intruder. A shot at close quarters will almost invariably tur... |
