  • According to the 14th Assam rhino estimation, Rhinos in Manas National Park have higher life expectancy.
  • However, they need translocation support.
  • Rhino census was carried out by ‘Total count or Direct count method’.
  • The one-horned rhinos of the Western part of Manas National Park, bordering Bhutan, have higher life expectancy.
  • And there is significant growth in their population.
  • But the Indian side of the park does not have a wider representation of sub-adults and calves for sustaining the population structure.
  • Thus, translocation is needed to supplement them.
