| But Allah be praised, that day our luck was really incredible. We had been scouring the bush for five days, without the tiniest bit of luck. Then, when least expected, our friend passed at less than a hundred yards from the very ladang we had chosen for our camp. This sounds unbelievable, for ... |

| 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... |

| 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... |

| According to Steinhardt, the Kaoko rhino is less prone to attack than the East African rhino. It would usually be happy just to scare away its enemy. When it loses the smell, it continues to run. Strangely, the Kaoko rhino would attack with raised horns, after it has lowered its head twice bef... |

| (After climbing to summit of Ololmoti, the northern crater) My followers and I arrived at the top very much out of breath and pretty well fagged, so it was a very mean advantage that two Rhino took of us on the very summit, by charging us in the rough scrub, shaking us up very badly after the ard... |

| They have irritable natures and have a stupid habit if charging down on anything that annoys their sense of smell. In hundreds of cases this has induced their death, for many a man has had to shoot a rhino in self-defence. I have myself had several narrow shaves owing to their sudden attacks. |

Black Rhino

| A great deal has been written on the pugnacious nature of the Black Rhino, most hunters saying it will charge without provo- cation. Its small eyes are bound to give the creature bad eyesight, but its hearing is well developed, and I expect they vary individually as much as any other animal. Dug... |

| Rhinos can be quite troublesome. I know a subdivision growing rubber in the South Preanger, where a rhino makes an entire division of the plantations inaccessible by attacking the koelies. I have shot a rhino myself which had killed a woman. |
