On page 93 it was stated that, 'The founding stock was deliberately kept low to encourage the animals to breed more freely'. This was never true for black rhinos, which were taken from anywhere all the time. As Warden 1 had to accept this because the alternative was that they would probably be poached. In fact, I instituted the capture of black rhino from an adjoining ranch, which was being taken over for settlement, and I managed to get the owner of Solio Reserve for the first time to take females only, by pointing out that the reserve aready had too many males. The balance was moved to Aberdare Park because Solio already had the highest density of rhinos in Africa and they were degrading their own habitat.
