The Black Rhino, (Diceros bicornis), were captured and transported from East Africa to Addo.
It was only in 1975, after some DNA tests, that scientists discovered that there are four species of Black Rhino that exist in Africa: Diceros bicornis bicornis, Diceros bicornis maceali, Diceros bicornis minor and Diceros bicornis longipensi.
It was then when conservationists realised that the East African Black Rhino, Diceros bicornis maceali, was introduced in err to Addo, as the Black Rhino that originally occurred in the Eastern Cape, was Diceros bicornis bicornis or, as we like to have it known, the "true" Black Rhino.

 IUCN News - West African black rhino feared extinct
Gland, Switzerland, 07 July 2006 (IUCN) – While most subspecies of Africa’s two rhinos, the fl and white rhino, continue on the road to recovery, this is not true for two of Africa’s most threatened rhino subspecies: the West African fl (Diceros bicornis longipes) and the northern white (Ceratotherium simum cottoni).
The West African fl rhino is now feared extinct and numbers of the northern white rhino have reached an all time low in the wild.
However, such interventions are not always possible; African Range States need to strive for self-sufficiency and the integration of these flagship species and areas into their regional economies if the distribution and numbers are not to decline in future.”
