A white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium bicornis), a black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) and two zebra (Equus burchelli) were exposed to ambient diurnal temperature changes in Kenya, East Africa. The mean maximum dry bulb temperature was 29.9?C; the mean black bulb temperature at this time was 47.5?C.... |
