Sumatran Rhinoceros in captivity?

[red river hog]

Wow. And to think they are almost gone.

There was one at the Bronx and London as well.

I believe that none of the captive females can breed, so breeding programs likely won’t happen any time soon.

Have you heard of the story of that one animal that came back from extinction? I forget which mammal but they managed to bring back the species for... 20 days? Hours? Seconds? Less than 10 seconds...

That’s a lot that are gone now I guess.

Maybe I should start a thread for vaquitas too to discuss about them.

There already is a vaquita thread.

Pyrenean ibex.

Oh ok no need for that. I remember now. Thanks.

Please look around to see if a thread exists before creating it:

Seriously, I swear I looked. At this point I’m going insane.

Forgive me if this is mentioned in the "Loss of Hope" thread, but I have not been able to find it. Does anyone know how one would go about visiting the Way Kambas sanctuary? I regret that I did not see them at Cincinnati before their departure and am considering (after the pandemic) a trip to Indonesia to see them.

The Sanctuary is not open to the public.

Wrong. There were two at the Bronx-Zoo and nine at London Zoo- in two subspecies.

Neat.

Honestly, since the facility is not open to the public, we may never see the Sumatran Rhinoceros ever again.
