NEWS FROM TABIN’S RHINO FACILITY IN SABAH



Based on data from zoos and other facilities since 1990s, it is known that healthy, fertile female Sumatran rhinos are receptive to mating only for a period of 1-2 days, at intervals of roughly 21-27 days. Dangerous fighting may occur between male and female rhinos if put together at times of “non-receptivity”. Of the various possible methods potentially available to determine receptivity dates, the best available in Sabah is to monitor blood serum levels of the hormone progesterone; this rises and falls, with the lowest level normally indicating receptivity. Based on monitoring of Puntung’s progesterone since January 2012, and the successful reduction of her endometrial cyst growth in June, 17 August was determined to be the most likely date for the first mating attempt. Six attempts to put Puntung and Tam together in the breeding yard were done (17-19 August). Tam showed increasing aggression over those days, and no copulation occurred. Puntung’s drop in progesterone in September occurred sooner than anticipated, and the likely best date was missed for a second mating attempt. A decision was taken to monitor serum daily, rather than every other day, and to target October for the next mating attempt. There is a constraint, however, in that blood samples are analysed in Sandakan, and results not usually available same day. (Contributed by John Payne)


BLACK RHINO IN TOGO

Pierre-Olivier Antoine and Kees Rookmaaker have uncovered evidence of rhinos in the West African country of Togo. The historical range of the black rhinoceros is now extended to that part of the continent. The species no longer survives in the area. The article is found here.
