Death due to salmonellosis has been reported in a black rhinoceros bull six days after capture. Salmonella typhimurium was isolated from the liver. The animal was noticed to be behaving strangely four days after it had been captured. Two days later it was down in its pen and died that day. Post mortem findings included a marked enteritis, congestion of the lungs and a hydropericard.
