| The number of old rhino paths near the rivers, however, is quite large. I found these typical gullied paths, leading to the water, along every river I visited. These paths, so deeply worn into the hard river banks, must have been used for many years. They date most probably from a far distant p... |

White Rhino

| As usual, tick-birds (Buphaga) hunted about the hides of their great hosts. Suddenly one of these watchful birds noticed us, and, uttering a harsh, long-drawn ?chirrrrr' it fluttered anxiously into the air. Instantly the monsters stirred restlessly : tiny, almond-shaped eyes opened : and the se... |

| West Africa. Their natural habitation was the soft green, thornless bush country and were often to be met with in parties of three to a dozen and more, browsing in the open like great cattle. While the slaughter was at its height many of the survivors took to heavy country, where this class of ... |

| I am not sure about the elevation preferred by this animal. It is known and hunted on the Dar Lac Plateau at an elevation of about 3,000 feet, and last year some natives invited me to hunt a party of four rhinos near Cua Rao, about 100 feet above sea level. |

| Rhinos are sometimes taken by crocodiles through their own stupidity. A croc will never tackle a rhino while actually drinking, as it will a buffalo, by grabbing or closing its great jaws over the mouth, but waits till the rhino turns leisurely to walk out. Then it fastens on to one or other of... |

| The exceptional size (and depth), and consequently the long preservation of the tracks on good soil, can give the impression that the animal is numerous in certain areas, while in reality maybe just a single animal has passed the area several tims. Therefore the measurement of the tracks is very... |

| The 'rhino paths' are well-known even today, which are still found, possibly further dug in through other means, on many mountains in the western half of Java, like on the Salak, Gedeh, Goentoer, Patoeha, Tjeremai and Slamet. The rhinos walk around the bends of the paths up to the highest tops a... |
