The sex ratio was about 1:1 in 1970, but in later years the ratio has skewed markedly towards males, and even up to 150:100 in the mid-1970's in Hluhluwe-Umfolozi. This change is apparently due to confinement of the population by fencing which limits the dispersion of males and also to a sex ratio at birth in favour of males.
