| The two bulls introduced in 1990 routinely overlap m their movements. However, the two most recently introduced bulls occupy separate zones with the inner bull mainly standing in the eastern area and the young bull in the western sector. The dominant bull of the 1990 introduction does not toler... |

| Analysis of demographic factors indicate that wild black rhinoceros populations remain stable (i.e. sex ratio and age structure do not change dramatically) even if they experience ecological threats such as competition, predation, droughts and fire. Poaching has a negative effect on the sex rati... |

| The density on the floodplain during October averaged 0.05 (0.013) per km? in 1981-1985. This was equivalent to 2.43 (0.27) rhino seen per 100 km driven. Between Oct 1985 and Oct 1986, the mean number seen decreased to 0.14 (0.28) per 100 km. Only 7 rhino were observed along the ecotone: six b... |

| In the southern KNP 1415 white rhinos were counted in 1993 for a mean density of 0.4 per km? . In the high-density study areas white rhino densities were about 1,4 per km? (1900 kg/ km?). In the Umfolozi Game Reserve mean white rhino density was 3.2 per km? (4300 kg/ km?) with local densities... |

| The overall size and shape of rhino ranges is determined by the quality, quantity and distribution of food and water resources; and to a lesser extent the ranges of potential mates and competing animals. The ranges of dominant bulls therefore resembles jig-saw pieces over the resources of the re... |

| During the capture of 6 black rhino, Dr Wucher used a self-designed 'gag' to open the mouth of each immiblized animal and enable him to place a special tray in the rhino's mouth to obtain an impression of the teeth. After about 2 minutes the tray was removed and the impression cast in plaster. ... |
