Diceros bicornis. Wankie National Park (c. 5,000 square miles): Between 1962 and 1963, 13 rhinoceros were moved to the park during the Kariba rescue operations and released there; in 1965 a further 40 animals were captured and translocated with the aid of drugs from the Mwenda Native Purchase Area (Binga district) to the park. A few of these animals have since died, and others have moved out of the park into Botswana and an adjacent controlled hunting area. For the purpose of this report the number in the park at present is estimated roughly at between 30 and 40.
