Description:
In the middle distance can just be seen what appears to be a rhinoceros.
This is possibly near Lake Moni in the area where Buxton carried out four months fieldwork among the Köbora.
This group, along with the Tsera, are generally known as riverine Mandari, although they are somewhat distinct from the Western Mandari among whom Buxton mainly worked.
