| The vagina is smooth with large longitudinal folds that course between the urethral opening and the cervix. In a nulliparous D. bicornis, a hymen blocked the vaginal canal just cranial to the urethral opening. This mucous membrane blockage was perforated by a hole. A septum through the hole di... |

|
| Over the past year, several reproductive tracts from female black and white rhinos have been obtained at necropsy. It appears that the major obstacle to be overcome is the overall length of the tract. In mature black and white rhinos, the entire tract was approximately 100 cm in length. The di... |

| The male reproductive tract includes the bulbourethral, prostate and vesicular accessory sex glands, all within the pelvic canal.
Ampullae were not evident in Ceratotherium simum, Diceros bicornis, Rhinoceros unicornis. The masculine uterus was evident in the African species. |

| Gross anatomical examinations of the penis and testicles were performed in Ceratotherium simum, Diceros bicornis, Rhinoceros unicornis. The tip of the flaccid penis is directed caudally. During erection, the penis extends from the sheath and the glans swings forward. The fully erect penis exte... |

White Rhino
|
| The reproductive organs of male D. bicornis and C. simum are similar. The junction of the urethra with the urinary bladder is usually more cranial than the junction in R.unicornis. This results in a more developed pelvic urethra in the African rhinos. The prostate surrounds the neck of the blad... |
