Sumatran Rhino
|
| He comes down in the heat of the day to take his ease in what are called 'salt-licks', muddy baths formed by springs of saltish water. The clearing and the mud of the bushes were, as I was told, caused by the creature's trampling movement on his way home to his lair higher up the hills. My info... |

Javan Rhino
|
| Both the specimens killed at Pinjih in 1899 and at Kuala Serukoi in 1924 seem to have been extremely savage and given to unprovoked attacks. The Pinjih beast had been the terror of its valley from long before the British occupation (1874) and it was only large and well armed parties that venture... |

White Rhino
|
| The white rhino is more peaceful than the black. While the black does not hesitate to charge, the white rhino does not get to its feet that easily. I remember to have been told by an excellent sportsman who hunted in the Sudan, that he was surprised that when he approached the rhino seated on a... |

| He was so close that I could see all the creases in his thick hide, the tufts of hair sticking out of his piggy ears, and the whitish marks where he had rubbed himself against a tree. |

Black Rhino

| The rhino destroys its dung by using the soles of its hind feet, with which its throws its dung backwards and makes it very small. On the dung piles it makes deep furrows. The dung is so much crumbed that it is almost invisible to the eye. Under special occasions, when it is in a hurry, the rh... |
