| Predation does not have a big influence on a white rhino population. There have been a few cases in the KNP where white rhino calves were killed by lions. Animals with pieces of tail or ear missing that could indicate predation by hyaena are also seldom seen. Other accidental white rhino death... |

Black Rhino
|
| Conservationists have expressed fears that spotted hyenas, Crocuta crocuta, could be killing rhino calves in the Salient. Since the late 1970s the Wildlife Conservation and Management Department (WCMD) has expressed concern about the effect that a high density of spotted hyenas might have on the... |

| Pienaar (1970a) recorded an unusual incident of an elephant killing one at a water hole. Predation on them, except by man, is minimal, although rarely they may be killed by lions. |

| Oxpeckers, Buphagus spp, which frequent the backs of rhinoceros in search of ticks, flies and the blood issuing from these lesions, tend to keep the lesions open by their activities. The association of the rhinoceros with these birds has mutual benefits, for, by their loud chattering and calling... |

| Both lions and spotted hyaenas have been reported as attacking adults, with the outcome usually in favour of the rhinoceros.
In parts of their distributional range predation on calves is a rare occurrence, but has been reported in the Hluhluwe Game Reserve in Natal (Deane, 1962), where Hitchins ... |
