Upon arriving in the Etosha National Park the rhino were offloaded into holding pens and kept for an adaptation period of one to two months before they were released. The rhino captured during 1971 were released in a 24 000 hectare paddock or an area approximately the size of the Hluhluwe Game Reserve. Several rhino were involved in mortal combat 2 to 10 weeks after they were released. It was necessary to recapture one bull and move it to another area.
