| So far no detailed survey has been carried out to assess the total Black Rhino population in Botswana and its present distribution. Smithers (1971) gives a figure of approximately 20 animals, based on visual sightings and spoors. However, it seems quite probable that an intensive survey would r... |

White Rhino
|
| The Square-lipped or White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum simum) became extinct in Botswana probably somewhere around 1890 (Bryden, 1893).
