Original text on this topic:
All indications are that before 1900 the white rhino was widesprad in Rhodesia. But after 1880 numbers began to decline rapidly owing to the increase of commercial hunting for the horn. Coryndon felt that by 1892 it was virtually extinct and Lang gave the last authentic record in Rhodesia as 1895.
