Local hunting methods of the Punan. These people do not get far in hunting large animals like the rhinoceros as illustrated by this story. When one of them sees the spoor, many men go together, mostly armed with spears, and they try to get near the animal when it is asleep or when it does not notice the people. By continuously striking it with their spears, they weaken the animals slowly. Sometimes it takes up to eight days before the animal is killed and even then it often costs many injuries and lives of men.
