Common tree names are not as specific as Latin, Botanical, Scientific Tree Names, so cross reference is necessary to ensure the correct tree is identified. Many common names are the same for different species of trees. For example the common name Palm Tree can refer to many different species of trees in may different taxonomic groups.
The southern white rhino lives in southern Africa. About 98.5% of white rhino occur in just five countries (South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Kenya and Uganda). Almost at the edge of extinction in the early 20th century, the southern subspecies has made a tremendous comeback.
Most researchers focused on elephants instead. Suspecting that these large animals influence their environment, the authors took a close look at rhinos in Kruger National Park in South Africa. Today, around 10,500 white rhino live in the park, but that was not always the case. In 1896, rhinos went extinct there due to overzealous trophy hunting. In the 1960s, conservationists began reintroducing the animals back into the park. The population rebounded over the decades, although the rhinos havenât distributed themselves around the 7,500-square mile area equally.
