With some rapidly declining populations there is a need to understand the effects of these stressors on populations of vulnerable large herbivores like the white rhino. We developed age锕晅ructured models for the rhino population in Kruger National Park, home to 49% of South Africa's rhinos. ...
Of the two species of rhino that live in Africa, white rhinos have a conservation status of “near threatened” while black rhinos are “critically endangered," according to World Wildlife Fund. Black rhinos, which the Peace Parks Foundation hope to eventually relocate to Zinave, have seen thei...
and they capture our interest almost as much as their fictional cousins. There are five rhino species, varying from the almost-extinctwhite rhinoto the smiley, critically endangered Javan rhinoceros. Rhinos are frequently the focus of intense conservation efforts, with experts desperate to preserve p...
species are the least likely. Target species may require coaxing in the form of habitat corridors connecting the restoration site with existing populations. Temporary augmentation with food or nesting boxes can encourage reestablishment. In Tsavo West National Park, Kenya, rhinos have been corralled ...
Similarly, tracks of Sumatran rhinos were recorded at all the sites although they were never photographed. Thus it is concluded that the presence of medium to large-sized terrestrial mammals were equally represented in the 3 samples. Tiger density and prey biomass. Estimates of both tiger density...

This sharing or utilisation of similar home range areas by black rhinos has been noted in other populations (=-=Conway and Goodman, 1989-=-; Tatman et al., 2000; Lent and Fike, 2003). We therefore decided to redefine the availability of habitats for males and females within these ...
white rhinoThe white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) is threatened primarily due to continued poaching for its horns. In South Africa, partly to promote the conservation of the species, white rhinos have been introduced into areas where they did not occur historically (i.e. where they are ...
