| Intelligence is little developed in the rhinoceros which, in actual fact, is just a brute. He attacks what he sees and doesn't realize the dangers of his attack. So every year, some are killed by the locomotives of the Uganda Railway. The poor eyesight of these enormous beasts is maybe reason ... |

| One says this species less aggressive that the other, however we noted close to Aba that a small truck had been attacked by one them and that the one which we have killed for the Museum of Paris, a male, attacked us without the least provocation. |

| The horn is never used for rootling and it is difficult to estimate its purpose as Shebbeare says that the only man he has ever known to be attacked by a rhino showed marks clearly made by the incisors of the lower jaw on his posterior. |

| Approaching the Black Rhino on foot with nothing more formidable than a camera and sketch-book is always an exciting affair; and in bush-country there is a certain amount of nervous strain which is relieved only when the great snorting brute finally decides to crash away through the scrub, yieldi... |

Standing approximately 6 feet at the shoulder, with an amazing hump on the back of his neck, be moves about with a gentle, ponderous dignity that swiftly puts the peace... |

I have just written about 'good fortune' in coming across a rhino, but I can assure the reader that I felt anything but happy when I saw the first rhino approaching. The weather wa... |
