Hello, I was wondering if there is any web page where the entire worldwide captive rhino population can be seen. I know captive elephants have one www.elephant.se but I'd like to know if rhinos have one. I would be really interested to be able to see all the rhinos that are found in our zoos and parks.

Not as such. The studbooks do not publish their lists online. A good source is the website of ISIS: http://isis.org/CMSHOME/ On the left go to animals, then you can search for rhinoceros under common or taxonomic names. It gives a list of current holdings in zoos around the world.
