Contact Calls of the Northern and Southern White Rhinoceros Allow for Individual and Species Identification

Original language description

Vocal and olfactory signals are the most important for the communication of rhinos, however, their vocal communication has been investigated to a very limited extent so far. We recorded repetitive contact pant calls from six captive northern white rhinos(Ceratotherium cottoni) and 14 captive and free-ranging southern white rhinos (Ceratotherium simum) and examined if they transmit information about individual identity, species, social context and age class. Discriminant analyses revealed that a high percentage of the pant calls of both species could be classified to a correct individual. Northern white rhinos had longer calls and differed from the southern white rhinos in several frequency parameters of their calls. The calls of southern white rhinosalso differed between age classes and between social contexts in which they were recorded. A better understanding of communication of white rhinos has potential practical use in their management and conservation particularly because of th
