90 feet of a huge \diite rhino, and Sexton for a snap shot, with 
the director, to within IjO feet! When we got out of the auto he 
was standing under a tree, '‘fooling" around, preparing to lie down. 
When he got doina, the director, Marc Michi, and native guide went up 
to within 1*0 feet, Sexton went up to them to photo it, ^*ile rest of 
us stayed little farther back with the movie camera. Then Miseh went 
up closer and waked up the rhino and it lumbered off. Not a gun in 
the party or in the auto, which must have been 3-1*00 yds. back of us 
i« the road, two wheel tracks in the grass. Mischfi knows his rhinos j 
says th^ are perfectly harmlesa if not directly bothered or teased; 
has been ^ong a grodp of than in his auto so close that his wife 
could touch them from the side of the Jeep in which he took us into 
this restricted area. Wejren't those recent exeitftdg looking pictures 
of a man photoing a rhino close up, in Life, of a white rhino? If 
so th^ had first to make it mad to stage what they did. Mishi 
sa^ MacLeod, chief game warden in Uganda bears him out on the general 
inoffensiveness of the rhinos, but with the black rhino th^*ve 
had no ejqperienoe and are unable to comment. The elephant, he says, 
is the only dangerous animal and pertiaps wouldn’t be except for the 
fact that natives do hunt than up on the Sudan border where the 
elephants have learned that man is an enemy. On foot, Mischa says that 
he doesn't like to encounter them. Yes, we should have some good 
photos here, too, but no sound, we kept very quite through it all— 
no talking (that is very little, in whispers, -or by signs). Seeing is believing
