Abstract

The article focuses on the measurement and comparison between the serial rectal and muscle temperatures in immobilized free-ranging black rhinoceros in Ethosha National Park in Namibia. Both temperatures are found to correlate with each other through pairwise comparisons. The tendency of both temperatures to equilibrate is noted as immobilization time increases and as the ambient temperature increases at time of immobilization, the average temperature of the animal also increases. Methods for monitoring the temperatures are deemed important to integrate into anesthetic monitoring protocols.
