From 1925-1935, the price of the horn increased considerably. One threat is poaching. But also there is the pressure of the human population.

It is not strange to be within a few metres of a rhino without being able to see it. Idenfification of traces and footprints help to estimate numbers, the home range, and the principal habitats.   details back to search page Sort order: ------------------- Date ASC Author normal    (6) 1 2 3 ...
