Coronary artery aneurysm. Aneurysms in the coronary arteries were described in two black rhinoceros females that died during or shortly after being translocated in Zimbabwe. The primary lesion in both these animals was an arteritis and the presence of eosinophils in the lesion of one animal suggests that this may have resulted from a parasitic infestation.
