[edit] Western Black Rhino Extinct

How sad. BBC News. JF Mephisto 17:13, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

I see on Swedish news that it is exterminated now. :-(

Only the West African subspecies is covered by that study. Surely the taxobox shouldn't list "extinct" for the whole species. --Kostia 18:57, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

This is not an extinct species. Can someone please revert to the correct Status?

The misunderstanding here is that it is only the West African sub-species species (Diceros bicornis longipes) that is believed to be extinct. There are at least 3 other African species of black rhino (diceros bicornis minor, diceros bicornis bicornis, and diceros bicornis michaeli). Not making this detail clear suggests to the average reader that all Black Rhinos are extinct. This should really be clarified because many people might not read all the way to the bottom of the article where the Population section is. --Johnsm2 23:26, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

I find it hard to believe that this article could be included on the WikiCD considering the horrendous grammar it contained. I took the time to make it more clear, correct, and professional, but honestly...some people have no grasp of verb tense.

[edit] ultra sound communication

I saw on discovery that the rhino can sense ultra sound communication using their feet. when a rhino stamps it's foot, it actually sends a message over 30km far. Can anyone validate this ? Kendirangu 09:50, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
