Indian Rhino |
Almost invariably when a female was accompanied by a calf, other females with calves could be located nearby. On March 14, we observed 5 females within a radius of 200 yards, all accompanied by a young.
On other occasions, up to 20 adult rhino would be tallied at a stretch, then within a relatively short time several females with calves would be observed, one pair right after another. Whether or not there is a definite social relationship among females with young needs investigation.
