Black Rhinos
Research Station

Research Question:

How does the distance that the calf ventures from the mother change with the calf's age?

Introduction:
As infants grow older their behavior changes. Few black rhinos have been born in captivity. It is important to study their development so that we know in the future what constitutes normal behavior and what factors are important for healthy development. One of the behaviors that changes with age is the independence of the calf from the mother.
