Diceros bicornis. Both the African Black Rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis bicornis) and the northern race of the White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simium cottoni) are present in Uganda. The Black Rhinoceros is comparatively common in the northern section of the Murchison Falls Park and is well distributed throughout the area to the north of the River Nile. A rough estimate puts their number in the region of one hundred and fifty. They are frequently to be seen and appear to be holding their ground well.
