In mid-February 1993 officials of the Natal Parks Board captured and relocated 4 white rhino from Chobe NP to the newly established Khama Rhino Sanctuary in Serowe, but one died from bullet wounds sustained prior to its capture. The three remaining are a mature cow, her 9-months old calf and a 30-year old bull. The dead rhino was a 3-year old bull.
