Black Rhino

| The Black Rhino feeds mostly on thorns, and like all game, especially in the hot dry season, he drinks nightly, so it is not difficult to pick up his spoor and follow him to his resting place which, in Nyasaland and Northern Rhodesia, is usually in the hills. As he makes for his daytime haunts he... |

Black Rhino
|
| Of all the larger game he keeps furthest away from the habitations of man. In East Africa instead of being a plains-loving animal as formerly, constant persecution is, I believe, making him more of a bush-dweller.
It is almost incredible how an animal of that size can manage to get any nutrimen... |

Black Rhino

| Unlike the restless Elephant on his perpetual round of feeding grounds and water holes, Rhino remain year in and year out in their own little patch of bush or forest, and to move a family of them needs considerable and persistent persecution. They have thus suffered more than Elephant by the ope... |

|
| They occurred only in certain areas of hilly country in Upper and Lower Burma, preferring this type of terrain to the lowlands, and frequenting even mountainous districts. Shortridge (1915) confirms their hill-loving habits, saying that in the Dutch Indies they seem to be more of a mountain anima... |

White Rhino
|
| One April night the stillness was broken by the hungry grunting of a Lion close to camp, and in the early morning we set out in search of tracks. Suddenly we caught sight of a Rhino, stretched at ease, head from us, with a number of Rhinoceros birds moving about its back. To fire at a prostrate... |

Black Rhino
|
| It is quite a habit for a Rhino when seeking its daytime resting place to turn back parallel and to leeward of its trail before it lies down, and the hunter must always be on the alert for such a contingency when following its spoor. |
