According to season, it is likely to be found throughout West Madi and in a great part of the West Nile district, its range extending from the Sufan border in the north to Pakwach and Panyamur in the south. In the vicinity of Rhino Camp a distinct lessening in rhino population is certainly due to a greatly increased native settlement which is encroaching heavily on the rhino areas. In contrast, in other localities considerable increases are apparent, and in some places where this animal was a rarity some years ago, there are now well-established colonies.
In the Koich River area the increase is particularly noticeable, and Captain Salmon came across a cow with two calves, each about 4 months old.
