| These animals in captivity are very quiet for most of the day remaining immersed in a wallow of liquid mud and thickly coated with it after the manner of a buffalo. During the evening and night they are much more active roaming up and down the enclosure. |

| Some years ago, a rhinoceros appeared very poorly, and a few gallons of soap-suds had to be given him, but as this seemed to depress him, his spirits were revived by a bottle of whisky in plenty of water. |
