Once established here at the Zoo, our Veterinary, Bio- 
medical and Animal Behavior staffs will conduct numerous 
research studies to ascertain those factors that can only be 
accurately recorded with a captive specimen. These will 
include hemalogical changes, metabolic patterns, nutritional 
requirements, social relationships, oestrus cycles and 
behavior, mating behavior, gestation periods, hormonal dis- 
charges before and after conception, pregnancy behavior, labor 
cycles, delivery technique, post-natal activity, placenta 
examination (part of an already established program with NIH), 
mother-offspring relationship, milk analysis, growth curves 
(including horn development) and chromosomal studies in con- 
junction with Dr. Kurt Benerschke (Dartmouth University). 
Since the above mentioned report, the Cleveland Zoo has 
obtained a mate for their female but has conducted no further 
tests nor published any additional data. The other captive 
animal is in Antwerp and they have not published either.
