After castration. Subsequently this rhino, however, underwent a change of temperament, which was subtle at first, but at this later stage must be considered quite drastic. He has become quite timid and predictable in his habits and reactions. Safaris of tourist can be taken out to view the animal with near predictable results. This rhino must in fact be considered the most photographed black rhino in southern Africa today. His testis carrying compeers, on the other hand, are still quite wild and unpredictable in the best traditions of the black rhino, and are seldom seen, and then only for a fleeting second, amongst the thick bush of Addo.
