White Rhino (simum)
While at Meru we met six white rhino which had been imported from Zululand some years earlier. The Kenyan Government had bought them to build up the almost non-existant white rhino population in East Africa. They were doing well. Three calves had been born and they had settled down. Two weeks after we left there was a report in the local newspaper: `Only the calves survived because their horns were too small and not valuable enough.'
