The paper presents details of the dispersal and social behaviour of the three adult female white rhinos at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary in Uganda in the period one month before, the month during and one month after calving where published information from other reserves is limited. All six births occurred during night-time hours in areas of dense habitat. Births took place within 32 hours of the older calves being chased away by their mothers. Each female moved within the rhinos’ preferred habitat of open woodland with short grass and spent most of her time alone with her new calf and little time associating with other rhinos in the population. Apart from the chasing away of the older calves, there was no indicator of an impending birth.
Le document donne les détails de la dispersion et du comportement social des trois rhinocéros blancs femelles adultes au sanctuaire de Ziwa au cours du mois avant, pendant le mois et le mois après le vêlage là où les informations publiées à partir d’autres réserves sont limités. Les six naissances ont eu lieu durant la nuit dans des zone d’habitat dense. Les naissances ont eu lieu dans les 32 heures après que les jeunes rhinocéros plus âgés aient été chassés par leurs mères. Chaque femelle s’est déplacée vers l’habitat de rhinocéros préféré de fôrets claires aux herbes courtes où elle a passé la plupart de son temps seule avec son nouveau bébé en s’associant peu avec d’autres rhinocéros dans la population. En dehors du fait d’avoir chassé des jeunes rhinocéros plus âgés, il n’y avait aucun autre indicateur d’une naissance imminente.
