Crossword-Solution: BORELE 6 letters, 5 clues 🏆 scrabble score: 8

Having proceeded about two miles with large herds of game on every side, I observed a crusty looking old bull borele, or black rhinoceros, cocking his ears one hundred yards in advance.

These four kinds are known among the natives as the "borele," the "keitloa," the "muchocho," and "kobaoba." The two first are "black rhinoceroses,"--that is, the general colour of their skin is dark--while the "muchocho" and "kobaoba" are white varieties, having the skin of a dingy whitish hue.

The horns of the "borele" are placed--as in all rhinoceroses,--upon a bony mass over the nostrils,--hence the word "rhinoceros" (_rhis_, the nose, _chiras_, a horn.) In the "borele" they stand erect, curving slightly backwards, and one behind the other.

Arend was astonished, but soon discovered the cause of this eccentric action, in the presence of a huge black rhinoceros,--the borele--which was making a straight course across the plain, as if on its way to the river.

But Arend Von Wyk was a hunter,--and an officer of the Cape Militia,--and as the borele passed by him, presenting a fine opportunity for a shot, he could not resist the temptation to give it one.
