Masai Mara, Kenya. The only record of the age at maturity of a black rhino in the Reserve is that of Chebrech, who is recorded to have been born in May 1984 and who produced her first calf in December 1991. Based on a mean gestation period of 454 days (Hitchins & Anderson, 1983), Chebrech probably conceived in September 1989, at 64 months (5.4 years) of age.
