What a great find and a keen observation. I've read portuguese account on the history of ethiopia and surprisingly garaad mahfuz was very prominent. If i recall correctly according to the portuguese he was allied to both the turks and the arabs. I'd say this account is probably talking about him specially since the date matches and rhinos were still roaming in the north.
Here is a story during an expedition from 1899 in what I think is the Haud:
Did you say 1899? That's recent history if only we had some traditional animal perseveration law we might've still had some black rhino left in somalia. Come to think of it the north overall experienced a huge change in it's environment. It use to be lush vibrant grassland timing with all sorts of animal such as giraffes, rhinos, elephants, zebras and ostriches but today it's a semi-arid region with less diversity in it's mammal population. Maybe there was nothing much we could do to preserve the black rihnos.
This phenomenon occurred all over the world. Parts of Europe, Arabia and North Africa had Lions and Elephants at one point. Only now are humans trying to preserve the wildlife we have on earth with the help of all these UN organisations.
During the colonial period, there was a hunting ban, and anyone who hunted without a permit was imprisoned. Animal life was destroyed after 1960. When my father was a child in the early sixties, he would still see elephants in western Hargeisa And giraffes migrated during the rainy season.
Garaad mahfuz was a harla
His daughter is Bati del Wambara, ahmed gurey's wife, in which she is known of being a harla so that naturally means he is a harla

Basic google search would tell you that they only changed their name to “Ethiopia” a few decades ago. Ethiopia/Highland (and sometimes the region) was always called Abyssinia.
