Cet article présente de nouvelles cartes mises à jour qui montrent l’habitat historique et actuel du rhinocéros noir, blanc et du Nil. La distribution de l’espèce est basée sur des rapports écrits et iconographiques ainsi que sur des spécimens dans les musées. L’habitat historique reflète la situation à partir de l’année 1500 et après (c’est-à dire la dernière partie de l’Holocène). L’habitat actuel est divisé d’après des populations originelles
et introduites.
