No rhinoceros-borne diseases are a serious hazard to our own livestock.
More detailed mapping of the retinal ganglion cell distribution in the horse is required to see if this dual specialization is a perissodactyl feature or specific to the rhinoceros.
The rhinoceros has a ganglion cell density map that, in light of what is known to date, is unique in a terrestrial environment for mammals due to its dual specialization.
We calculate that the black rhinoceros could readily distinguish a 30 cm wide human at a distance of around 200 m given the appropriate visual background.
But we did see the rhinoceroses.
Rhinoceros is not uncommon, and hippopotamus is present in fair numbers.
The atmosphere was humid, and the well-worn paths of game (buffalo, rhinoceros and lion) indicated that these places were utilised by numbers of animals coming to the river to drink.
To date the visual resolution of any rhinoceros species has not been determined.
