TWO-HORNED RHINOCEROS. 
*' This species seems to agree in manners 
with the One-Horned Rhinoceros. It's flesh 
is eatable, and tastes like coarse pork. Cups are 
made of the horns ; and, of the hides, whips. 
It's food is boughs of trees, which it bites into 
bits of the size of a finger. It feeds also much 
on succulent plants : especially the Stink- 
ing X Stapelia ; and a species of Stoebe, called 
the Stcebe Rhinocerotis. It continues, during 
the day, in a state of rest: in the evenings and 
mornings— perhaps, the whole night — wanders 
in c^uest of food, or in search of places to roll 
It has no voice, only a sort of snorting, 
which was observed in Females anxious for 
their young. It's dung is like that of Horses: 
it has a great propensity to cleanliness ; drop- 
ping it's dung and urine only in particular 
places. It's sense of sight is bad : those of 
hearing and smelling are very exquisite. The 
least noise, or scent, puts the animal in motion. 
It instantly runs to the spot from which those 
two senses take the alarm ; and whatsoever it 
meets with, in it's course, it overturns, and 
tramptes on. Men, Oxen, and Waggons, 
have thus been overturned ; and, sometimes, 
destroyed. It never returns to repeat the 
charge ;
