| Many hold that the rhino is very poor-sighted. But take the following facts and consider whether their sight can really be as poor as made out, particularly by night.
I was camped in the bush down in the lower Wakamba country among the thorn-trees growing very close together, trunks only some s... |

| As, however, its range of eyesight, like that of an Elephant, is limited to from thirty to forty yards it is generally fairly easy to avoid these attacks, provided the sportsman keeps his head, and is agile. |
