The 90% decline in their population is a hazard as they see mortality rates increase, as well as consistent emigration (Primack, 2002). Rhinos are currently listed as threatened under the Conservation Status for a number of factors but mainly due to illegal poaching. The Rhino began increasing its population growth to the point when growth rate was nonexistent. Each individual Rhino's relationship concerning “density x ratio, and underlying growth rates” was the team's main focus. The Rhino was examined by Benson and others through the Kenya Wildlife Service and had an article published by the African Journal of Ecology (Benson, 1, 791). Some animals of the Kenyan population may belong to it. As the black rhino is extirpated in most of these areas, the status of the latter subspecies is unclear. These are referred to a separate subspecies ( Diceros bicornis ladoensis) by some authorities. The IUCN figures for Diceros bicornis michaeli also include those for black rhinos from South Sudan, Uganda, southwestern Ethiopia and western Kenya. They are threatened mainly from illegal poaching for their horns. In 2010 their total numbers were estimated at 740 animals, with an increasing trend. The population has declined 90% in the last three generations. A population of currently 60 animals is kept outside its natural range in South Africa ( Addo Elephant National Park). Once located in Ethiopia, Somalia, Tanzania and Kenya, as of 2017 they can only be found in Kenya (594 animals), Rwanda and in northern Tanzania (80 animals). They are browsers and are usually found in highland forest and savanna habitat. Diceros bicornis michaeli is also reportedly more aggressive than the other three subspecies of black rhino. The eastern black rhino is distinguishable from the southern subspecies as it has a longer, leaner, and more curved horn. Its numbers are very low due to poaching for its horn, and it is listed as critically endangered. The eastern black rhinoceros ( Diceros bicornis michaeli), also known as the East African black rhinoceros, is a subspecies of the black rhinoceros.
