Please can you share (if different) your rhino ear notching numbering? The one I use is in picture (triangle for cows and square for bulls. Thank you
The Black Rhino Range Expansion Programme (BRREP) uses this:
Females V
Males U (round)

We use the 1124 system in Botswana. So double notch at the bottom and different number allocation.
Since we have all the rhinos on a single database, we use duplicate for males and female otherwise we run out of available numbers.

In this system, do you use 2 notches at certain places to show 8 and 9 (double 4 and 1?)
Erik Verrynne, [15 Sep 2023 at 09:55:02]:
There are no 8 or 9 with this system. That is why we use the 1124. Double 1 gives you more options.

Gary, I think this is a stupid system, but it’s what the animals arrived with so that needs to be continued.
