The Keitloa, according to Mr. Chapman, is nearly as large as 
the Mohogu , or White Rhinoceros (so called). “ He is of a dark 
neutral grey colour, as seen from a distance. This animal droops 
behind, and has a stiff, clumsy, and awkward walk. He feeds on 
bushes and roots, is nervous and fidgety when discovered, but 
confines his movements generally only to the head and horns, 
moving them about in an undecided manner, first one way, then 
the other. He is not nearly so excitable as the Borelengani. The 
latter is a dumpy, plump-looking animal, of a very dark colour, 
particularly lively in his actions, and seemingly always on the 
trot, always very nervous, wary, and fidgety, often flying round 
in a fury, whether he has observed danger or not, making the 
hunter sometimes believe that he has been discovered. When he 
fancies that he does see or hear anything, he lifts one foot, tosses 
up his horn and nose and sinister little eyes, and presents alto- 
gether a picture of the most intense and earnest scrutiny and 
attention, wheeling round with great rapidity, and, by his active 
gestures and startling snortings, often rendering the nerves and 
aim of an inexperienced hunter very unsteady. On the whole his 
actions, when undisturbed, are like those of a lively and busy 
Pig.” Elsewhere he remarks, that whilst “ the White Rhinoceros 
likes the open plains, where there is just bush enough to shelter 
him from sun and wind, the Borele likes the thorny jungle, and 
the most secluded and retired spots of it ; the Keitloa (or large 
Black Rhinoceros) being more an inhabitant of rocky hills.” 
All Rhinoceroses are fond of wallowing in mud, with which the 
body is not unfrequently encrusted ; and their senses of hearing 
and smell are most acute, but not that of vision, so that they may 
be closely approached by keeping to leeward of them. On one 
occasion the waggon of a friend of Mr. Andersson was attacked by 
one of these animals. “We heard shouting and firing, and on 
looking in the direction whence the noise proceeded, discovered 
to our horror, a Rhinoceros rushing furiously at us at the top of 
his speed. Our only chance of escape was the waggon, into which 
we hurriedly flung ourselves. And it was high time that we 
should seek refuge, for the next instant the enraged beast struck 
his powerful horn into the bottom plank of the waggon with such 
force as to push the waggon several paces forward, although it 
was standing in very heavy sand. Most fortunately he attacked
