Typical day in the bush... | |||
Kjell looking for rhino, | |||
Wes listening for bird calls,
| |||
and Jill trying to get some rest anyplace
she can. | |||
Rhinos
carry bad tempers. This morning we tracked a large male over many kilometers,
three hours under the sun, until we caught up to him resting on the ground. The
wind changed. It smelled us and jumped onto its feet, but because rhinos have
terrible eyesight, it couldn't fix our position. Our scout whispered something,
the rhino heard the noise and charged straight towards Kjell and Jill. In a flash
it closed to within 20 feet before the scout caused it to change direction by
rapping his gun. Before anyone could breath the rhino had crashed away thru the
bushes. | |||

How do you stop a charging rhino? Take away
