Before we jump to ‘My Grand Father and the Rhino’ let us get to know a few things about the Rhino.
Rhinos are utterly intriguing animals, and absolutely fascinating and beautiful. Their babies are cute and they look calm. Still, we do not forget that rhinos are wild animals and they appear vigorous occasionally. They also look huge, weighing several thousand pounds, and they have a great big sharp horn or two horns on their heads.
Yes, rhinos are dangerous animals as they have very poor vision and a tendency to charge as an automatic response to any unfamiliar or questionable situation.
During your game drive by vehicles, it appears that the rhinos ignore your vehicles unless the vehicles get too close. A mile away is probably a safe distance. Get miles away from Rhino even when inside a safari vehicle. If you get into their territory and aggravate them, they will not take time before they charge at you. Better stay careful when around even while by your vehicle.
My Grand Father and the Rhino
“My grandfather was born in 1918 in the last village under the slopes of Mount Meru. My grandfather was a charming hero, honest, hardworking, and a good storyteller. Whenever we visited his home, there were always astonishing stories of his life. He loved to tell about his own life experiences and mostly the challenging parts. Also, he was one of the best tribal leaders who impressed many in the clan. Unfortunately, he died of aging in 2005, but still, many indigenous people in the village remember his leadership skills and accountabilities.
Let us take you through one of his incidents when he was a young man. My grandfather was once a wildlife guard at Ngurdoto, one of the former Rhino reserves owned by German settlers before the introduction of Arusha National Park. On Wednesday morning, 5th of June 1950, my grandfather Kiboroi was accidentally confronted and attacked by a Black Rhino while he was on patrol around a Rhino Range which at that time was located inside what is now known as Arusha National Park.
In the morning, wearing a monkey coat when he was returning from patrol, he had walked around several miles remotely from the camp. Suddenly, the hot-tempered black rhino appeared and charged at him. He started shouting and running from the animal toward the camp. Unfortunately, the black Rhino confronted and knocked him in the stomach, injuring him and leaving him unconscious, but fortunately, it tossed him into a small pool which actually saved his life, as the rhino was unable to gore him again.
Knocked unconscious, one of his comrades came around and recognized someone in the pool and the black Rhino confronting the place. He had no choice but to stay silent and wait until the Rhino had moved off.
He then stepped into the pool and found my grandfather unconscious and laying in the muddy water. He ran to their camp and alerted other comrades to help him carry my grandfather, who was still unconscious, into the camp and lay him beside the campfire until he recovered from unconsciousness.
As they hadn’t received any medical training, they didn’t immediately know what to do and perhaps packed the wound with blood bandages to stem the bleeding to make a full recovery, but nothing happened until he regained consciousness, and that took hours.
Then they aided him in walking home several miles across the wilderness for further treatment. He continued treating the wound with herbals, which took months to heal. Finally, the wound healed and left him with a scar from the rhino horn that did not get him that severely, if it would have caused immediate fatality. After 4 months, he fully recovered and returned back to the camp for work.
Although the attack didn’t lead to fatality, it wasn’t easy for my grandfather. It was an attack he never forgot in his life. His experience with the Rhino makes us even more curious about the Rhino and inspired our company name from the same wild beast.”
More About Rhinos!
Certainly, zoo rhinos that are around people do get familiarized with them. Old African, a well-known example, Old Sudan Rhino was surrounded by human guards daily so no one could harm him.
He tolerated his human guards, though as he was so old, he certainly couldn’t go charging about like he used to. And certainly, zoo animals appear to be quite relaxed and even enjoy humans and being fed and scratched.
But they still are going to charge or head butt at times. Clearly, even if they just wanted to rub an itchy spot on you they could do you great harm. Even in zoos, rhinos are still handled with extreme care, which is just common sense.
But it does appear that once they are out of the day-to-day situation with humans, they lose their familiarity within a few months and charge like any other wild rhinos.
