| [Rhinos are caught in traps with spears] After some days the path on which the animal escaped is sometimes found and followed, and often the body is already consumed by tigers, who prey on the dying animal, and parts of the rhino are flown around. |

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... |

Black Rhino
|

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... |

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
|
| The late Mr. Arthur Neumann informed me once that he had shot a rhino with a bad ulcerated wound just above the first joint of one foreleg. He had come to the conclusion that this had been caused by the teeth of a crocodile. Some readers may remember the description and photos of the drowning o... |

| On his back were dozens of little brown 'tick-birds,' who were busy running all over him, picking off and eating the ticks which infested his body with their sharp red beaks. Every now and then they stopped to cast bright, suspicious glances around to see if any enemy was approaching. They act ... |
