Animals of the michaeli subspecies were introduced from Kenya in the early 1960's. Unfortunately, there minor bulls were added in 1977 which created the problem of genetic mixing of subspecies. However, it is relatively easy to distinguish rhinos of the two subspecies from the air and from the ground - minor animals are smaller and have a smoother skin than do michaeli animals.
