| Hi, I have collected spoor measurements from seven black rhino over a number of years during a hand rearing project. We knew the age of each rhino and we weighed them each day. The result of all this data is that I am now producing a specialised ruler for use in the field. The idea is to measure the spoor and then get an indication of the age and/or weight of the rhino in question. To strengthen my data set, I am looking for more spoor measurements where the age and/or weight of the rhino where known at the time of the spoor measurement. Search for the paper on this web site; Title "Using spoor to determine the age and weight of subadult black rhinoceroses." to see my first results Many thanks Duncan |

| Duncan, Thanks for sharing this with us and for providing the PDF to the RRC. I hope someone will be able to provide you with data on the age and weight of black rhinos related to spoor measurement. I also must say that I have removed the messages you posted in other categories, as I found this category most fitting. I hope you understand this. Kind regards, Willem |
