It is likely that the leopard survived, since Tintin gave its owner some advice on how to help it. And yes, the scene with the rhinoceros was changed in the '70s. But yeah, the treatment of the animals in Congo hasn't aged well.Furiennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15657409265070182678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-82332091987809869702012-03-05T13:53:41.995-04:002012-03-05T13:53:41.995-04:00The scene with the rhino was actually stopped by t...The scene with the rhino was actually stopped by the Swedish censors, Hergé agreed and redrew it. Consequently, in the Swedish version Tintin's rifle gets caught on the horn, a shot goes off and the rhino runs away scared.<br />It wasn't published in Sweden until 1978 and presumably by then the attitude towards Africa and it's wildlife hade changed somewhat :)SminkyPinkynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-76197447081954784832010-08-13T12:08:43.401-03:002010-08-13T12:08:43.401-03:00Hang on, isn't the thing with crocodiles that ...Hang on, isn't the thing with crocodiles that they have extremely powerful jaw muscles when they are shutting their mouth, but very weak ones when they try and open it? I was told that an elastic band could keep a crocodile's mouth shut. All that should happen there is that the croc should shatter Tintin's rifle and then chomp him into little bits.LiamKavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01996095233681105682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-39820853374731114082007-06-22T12:26:00.000-03:002007-06-22T12:26:00.000-03:00Not to mention pistol whips behind the head.
