Original text on this topic:
Of the three animals captured [hybrids of michaeli and minor], two males looked like hybrids and a female looked like a D. b. michaeli animal. However, all three were consigned to the National Zoological Gardens in Pretoria. An adult female held by the zoo, which came from eastern Kenya was translocated to Addo during the same operation. Within three months the translocated cow at Addo had died of undefined causes. The female at the zoo died of a respiratory infection which followed on treatment to nasal injuries received during transport.
