Original text on this topic:
When I examined 12 skulls of white rhinos poached in NW Uganda, I became skeptical about the taxonomy of the genus Ceratotherium. Altough all skulls were from adult or near-adult specimens, the variation between them was so large that a splitter could have easily made two or more subspecies out of them, if he had not known, that all skulls were collected within a radius of 3 km around the camp.
