Abstract
1. 1. Mean concentration of serum alpha-tocopherol (Vitamin E) in 28 free-living black rhinoceroses sedated during translocation in Zimbabwe was 1.92 (SD, 0.43) mg/1. 2. 2. Alpha-tocopherol was not detectable (<0.15 mg/1) in five captive black rhinoceroses held at London Zoo. 3. 3. Circulating levels of all-trans retinol (Vitamin A) were not different between the two groups. 4. 4. The low level of alpha-tocopherol in captive rhinoceroses suggests a risk of acute haemolytic anaemia.
