In the mid Sixties, my dad was on a photographic safari in Africa. He was taking pictures of Thompson Gazelles and the like next to a river bank when suddenly a rhino appeared and took off after one of the gazelles. Dad was lucky enough to be carrying a 16mm film movie camera with him as well and caught the tale end of the chase as the rhino ploughed into a tree during a hard turn chasing his prey. Pretty wild stuff. Now,so many rhinos have be denuded of their horns. Some in China believe ground rhino horn powder is a strong sexual stimulant which has led to heightened rhino horn gathering…
Rhinos are actually vegetarians, was probably a territorial thing
maybe thats an indelicate comparison, but the same seems to have happened with the icon for mac rhino. maybe a homage to the dumb horn hunt…
by the way, this story ironically and maybe even just as indiscreet reminds me of the last unicorn…
