Infant survivorship (live-birth to 6 months) was 87.7 % for males and 85.7 % for females.

Also hills judged to be unusable (too steep, or without the normal food plants) were excluded from h... |

The population of white rhinos in the fenced WGP has undergone two periods of growth during which translocations did not occur: 1967-1974 (early period) and 1987-1994 (late period). Rates of annual increase calculated for the early and late periods were 1... |
