largest bases of the horns (pedicles), and thus slightly wider skulls. The pedicle widths of twelve males averaged at 130.9mm, with a spread of 122–136.5mm, compared to 125.3mm in Botswana, with a spread of 117.9-136.0mm, and 123mm in Zimbabwe, with a spread of 112.2-134.2mm. The horn core of the males was 51.6mm thick on average, with a spread of 45.1-64.6mm, compared to 47.1mm in Botswana, with a spread of 38.6-53.5mm, and 44.9mm in Zimbabwe, with a spread of 38.7-58.7mm.

This was because although the species was not thought to have lost much historical distribution, its distribution in Zambia is restricted, the population was thought to be small, and the low amount that the country was able to invest in protection at the time.
