Species: White Rhino


Original text on this topic:
When white rhinos are introduced into a fenced area, such as Lake Nakuru National Park, there is no danger of cross-breedin because there are no resident animals to start with. The white rhino is a much higher profile animal for tourists, being more easily accessible than the black rhino for photography on the plains.
Mr Ansell writes that, 'it is misguided to expend what are no doubt limited resources on the southern form'; in this he is incorrect because there are no northern rhinos available for translocation and South Africa is delighted to provide southern animals for introduction.
