September Feature: Rhinoceros

Two rhino species are found in Africa: the black rhino (Diceros bicornis) and the white rhino (Ceratotherium simum). The black rhino is found in south­western, south­central and eastern Africa and a few remain north of the rainforest belt in Cameroon. The black rhino is listed as Endangered by the IUCN. The position of the northern subspecies is far more precarious than that of its northern relatives: only 31 rhinos remain, all found in Zaïre's Garamba National Park and are listed as Endangered. Ten years ago, there were even less: between 12­15 were estimated to remain.
