We thought so too - picture-book perfect! :)
 
Except for the green paint :(
Why do they use that horrible colour?

I was just referring to the rhino but you make a fair point. I suspect it was darker green when it first went up though!

They always have. Where heavy duty iron and steel has been needed at Port Lympne and Howletts it has been painted in exactly that shade.

I can remember it on the Gorilla, Black Rhino and elephant enclosures at Howletts on my first visit, forty years ago.

I was referring to the rhino too - the Howletts and Port Lympne rhinos always have green paint on their horns.
