This beast does not make long migratory journeys.
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.
This curious beast has suffered severely of recent years, and great numbers have been killed. - Many were killed during the war [1914-1918] in the southern portion of the Game Reserve by the troops of both forces. There is no reason to fear its extinction.
Providing that the reserves are of ample size and contain an adequate supply of acacia bush, which forms its diet, and water, it will survive.
Kenya. Acacia shrubs forms its diet.
