Assuming that the population remains stable and that in average of 2.4 calves continue to be born each year it should be possible for the popul... |

| We used the left testis of a greater Indian rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) which died of pneumonia in 16th July 1995 at Tama Zoological Park (Tokyo, Japan). The animal, weighing approximately 2,000 kg, was estimated to be about 42 years old. |

| Mukinya ( 1973) records that the total area of the Reserve occupied by rhinos in 1972 was 749 km?, thereby giving a density of 0.14 rhino per km?. At present the total area occupied by rhinos is only 399 km?, with a density of 0.10 rhino per km? However, taking into account the 60 km? overlap... |

| At the present time, the Reserve holds a modest and healthy population of rhinos, as shown in Figure 3, despite their near elimination in the Masai Mara between the 1960s and 1980s.
The adult male: female ratio of 1:1.2 compares favourably with Mukinya's (1973) figure of 1:0.9, though the presen... |

Distribution areas were determined from groups of rhinos whose home ranges overlapped to a considerable extent. The measured home ranges, distribution ar... |

| White rhinos can have a massive impact on their environment through overgrazing. It is thus imperative that the rhino population be kept at a level where they will not have a detrimental impact on the reserve. In 1986 the Natal Parks Board implemented a management policy to deal with the rapidl... |

The initial movements of the rhinos after their release from the bomas seemed to be exploratory. They may have been looking for the most suitable habitat. Their average range of approximately 4 km? is similar to that of rhinos in Hluhluwe (1.7-4.2 km?) and... |
