Black Rhinos, One With A THIRD Horn! | Ol Pejeta | Zebra Plains On Tour

Two black rhino (hook-lipped rhinoceros) bull out for a stroll, one of the two has a rudimentary third horn growing, something that happens occasionally with black rhinos. The black rhino (Diceros bicornis) is listed as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). There are three subspecies of the black rhino, the eastern, the southern, and the southwestern, with Ol Pejeta being home to the eastern rhino subspecies. According to IUCN, the black rhino population declined by a staggering 97.6% from 1960 to the 1990s, primarily as a result of poaching. In 1993, there were estimated to be just 2,300 black rhinos living in the wild, however thanks to conservation efforts across Kenya and southern Africa, populations have risen to over 6,000 as of 2022, an average upwards trend of 17% increase in population size over the past decade. The populations of black rhinos have seen improvements in numbers across all three subspecies, with the largest increases in populations seen by the eastern black rhino over the past decade, averaging 30-40% population increases. With a population of over 165 eastern black rhinos, Ol Pejeta is the largest black rhino sanctuary in East and Central Africa.
