The questionnaires record the black rhino only from the Outjo District, where it occurs on a number of farms in the northern section. The species ranges throughout the Kaokoveld and, occasionally, into the Etosha Pan region where a single animal has recently been observed. Shortridge believed that there were between 40 and 80 black rhino in the Kaokoveld, but in view of the number recorded on farming land I believe the higher figure to be more accurate (much of the northern part of Outjo district fell within the Kaokoveld in 1934).
