| Most apparent charges are really made in its endeavors to break through and get away. Those are easy to discriminate between if the rhino can be seen.

| Comparison with buffalo
Much has been said about the comparative aggressiveness of buffalo and rhino. Some hold that a rhino is easier turned than a buffalo, and so on. Lone buffalo bulls will often be found, like rhinos, trying to get away and avoid trouble, and their intentions are just as ea... |

| The natives are certainly as much afraid of him as they are of the Elephant, although in the opinion of most hunters he is classed as the least dangerous of all the larger game.
