A pair of rare Black Rhinos -
Like the other four rhinonoceros species, the Black Rhino is critically endangered. Once common in East Africa, the Black Rhino population has been decimated by poaching. It is extinct in Uganda, and reduced to just a small group in Tanzania – all of them living in the Ngorongoro Crater. There are a few hundred Black Rhinos hanging on in Kenya – almost all of them on closely guarded “game farms”. A few dozen very nervous individuals can still be found living wild, mainly in Namibia.
