In September 1996, a young adult male white rhino, born in the Serengeti Safaripark of Hodenhagen, Germany, was transfered to Etosha National Park as a part of a reintroduction project for this species there. Pre-transfer procedures, transfer, behaviour and physiology of the specimen during the first 6 weeks of stay in the boma for adaption have been described earlier in this journal (B?er et al. 1997). This article reports on the most important events until the end of the adaption period and the early stages of the release phase.
