Notes from Bahr el Ghazal province

Note
Location Sudan Subject Distribution Species Black Rhino (bicornis)

I did not have opportunity to find the rhino at Khor Kalokosso, which they say is four hours from Gomuko Police post. The animal is reported to be inoffensive but also to browse on trees, so they remain an enigma.

Also have you ever known a white [rhino] gallop? I have only seen them go at a rapid trot. Yet the black rhino which once charged me certainly did so at the gallop, and this pair also, when eventually they spotted us and went deeper into the thorn bush, made off at a clumsy gallop, not a trot.
