White rhinos are gregarious and are encountered in smaller groups of up to 18 animals. Sometimes an adult bull occurs in such a group. They do not tolerate calves close to themselves and calves are continuously in danger of being killed in such cases. Apparently white rhinos need a certain minimal group size in order to reproduce efficiently. The group size is not clearly defined, but breeding pairs do not reproduce in captivity.
