Black Rhino (bicornis)
Eight black rhinos Diceros bicornis where successfully translocated from the Umfolozi and Hluhluwe Game Reserve in Zululand to Pilanesberg Game Reserve in Bophuthatswana this year. These eight animals (5 males and 3 females) now bring the total number of black rhinos at Pilanesberg to 21, including two calves which have been born at Pilanesberg. Special thanks are due to the Natal Parks Board which is subsiding heavily the black rhino introduction programme at Pilanesberg as a conservation measure for the species.
