Several authors give the distribution of the white rhino as Lake Chad, the region around Lake Chad and some far northern places like Abech? as former range. Several French sources allow the conclusion that the white rhino in recent times lived in many parts of the former French Equatorial Africa and that it was recently exterminated. According to Blancou (1960) since 1900 the white rhino was only found in the South East of the Tchad Republic, and it would have been extinct there since 1931. There are no indications that animals have migrated from the Sudan.
