Reintroduced Diceros bicornis in Malawi
The initial movements of the rhinos after their release from the bomas seemed to be exploratory. They may have been looking for the most suitable habitat. Their average range of approximately 4 km? is similar to that of rhinos in Hluhluwe (1.7-4.2 km?) and Andries Vosloo (0.5-2.0 km?) in South Africa (Adcock, 1994).
