White Rhino
Population growth after reintroduction. 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...

Translocated rhinos, Kenya 1984-1995. Overall there was no bias in the sex ratio of calves born to translocated rhinos (22 males, 21 females, 1 unsexed). However, sex ratios of calves born in particular sanctuaries did show a marked, but not consistent bias. For example, male calves exceeded f...

Zoo population end 1996. In zoo-born R. unicornis, the sex ratio is male-biased from birth to the age of five years. At sexual maturity, there is still a tendency towards a male-biased sex ratio, whereas in 20-year-old individuals, males and females occur in more similar proportions. In contra...

Release in Pilanesberg NP - Diceros bicornis. During the early introductions, the abundant space available to the rhino meant that when conflicts arose, there was room to escape. This probably played a role in the success of these early staggered reintroudctions. Subsequent changes in rhino ra...

Black Rhino
Release in Pilanesberg NP - Diceros bicornis. The experience from Pilanesberg suggests that there is a limit to the number of males an area can carry. Excess males should ideally be removed to pormote population performance in a restricted area. However, these surplus males cannot always be pl...

Pilanesberg NP. Annual monitoring demonstrated that black rhino are not fully grown (adult) until at least their 7th to 8th year. The Basal diameter of the rear horn (reflecting skull dimensions) stabilises after this age.

Port Lympne Zoo, 28 - 37 years. Based on estimates of tooth-wear rate and similarity in crown heights, the age of the Port Lympne female would vary between 28 and 47 years, but most probably about 28-37 years.
