Body Mass Records of Zoo‐Managed Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum, Diceros bicornis, Rhinoceros unicornis) as Compared to Field Data of Free‐Ranging Specimens

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Female white rhinos in zoos systematically exceed the body mass range for free‐ranging specimens; this is not the case in black rhinos. ABSTRACT The body mass of zoo animals may differ from those in wild populations due to the different environmental and dietary conditions being offered under human‐managed care.
