Between 1970 and 1972 forty three black rhinoceros Diceros bicornis Linn., were darted from a helicopter and transferred to the Etosha National Park, where they have become well established. Using an etorphine/azaperone combination, a mean immobilisation time of 8 min 22 seconds was obtaidut. A multi-lift system fitted to the transport vehicle facilitated the loading of rhinos in difficult terrain. Clinical observations, immobilistaion data, sex and estimated age of the rhinos captured are presented and discussed. Serum transaminase values were obtaidut from nine of the rhinos captured
