Behaviour - Towards Man
Black Rhino
|
| They have irritable natures and have a stupid habit if charging down on anything that annoys their sense of smell. In hundreds of cases this has induced their death, for many a man has had to shoot a rhino in self-defence. I have myself had several narrow shaves owing to their sudden attacks. |

Black Rhino
|
| This curious beast has suffered severely of recent years, and great numbers have been killed. - Many were killed during the war [1914-1918] in the southern portion of the Game Reserve by the troops of both forces. There is no reason to fear its extinction. |

Trade
All Rhino Species
|
| The high price which rhino horns have commanded in the far East during the last few years has proved an inducement to the native hunters to slaughter these animals; they were instigated by the Indian traders, who surreptitiously shipped them out in considerable quantities. |
