Distribution. From Abyssinia and Somaliland through East and 

 Central Africa, in suitable localities, to the Cape. Now rare to 

 the south of the Zambesi, and probably more abundant in the 

 districts between the interior of Somaliland and Lake Rudolf 

 than anywhere else. Although more alert and active than 

 Burchell's rhinoceros, and thus a more dangerous animal, this 

 species is by no means difficult to kill with modern weapons ; and 

 in the old days hunters frequently shot half-a-dozen in a single 

 evening as they came to drink at a pool. In spite of its wide 

 distribution, it has not been found possible to split up the species 

 into local races ; although this may perhaps be due to the want of 

 sufficient specimens for comparison. The so-called Rhinoceros 

 holniwoodi is a variety of this species.
