adapted to the arid and semi-arid savannas of Namibia, southern Angola, western Botswana and western South Africa.

Population

The total number of black rhinos now is about 3.5 thousand individuals. In the last 10-15 years, the number of black rhinoceros is generally relatively

stable, but in separate populations usually changes.
