Description The long and short-term landscape preference of white rhinoceros in the southern Kruger NationarPark are investigated. A preference index and a chi-square test are used to ascertain if white rhinoceros prefer or avoid a particular landscape. Landscape 3 (moderately undulating granitoid plains with Combretnni zeyheri woodland), is the most preferred landscape while landscapes 2 (low granitoid mountains with Combretnmapicniafnni bushveld) and4 (granitoid lowlands with Acacia ^randicornuta tree- savanna), are avoided.
