Since 1989, Wildlife Canyon has been showcasing rare and exotic hoofstock species that are native to many parts of the world. It currently consists of six different paddocks along the bottom of a steep canyon that was built in 1942. Visitors may walk along emus, camels, Asian wild horses, Sichuan takins, river hogs and the critically endangered Sumatran rhinoceros. Every Sumatran rhino that lives in the U.S. was born at the Cincinnati Zoo. Suci (2004) and Ipuh reside at the zoo today in well mud-covered, tropical habitats with large canopies constructed above each exhibit to protect the rhinos\' eyes from the harmful sun. Harapan (2007) is at the Los Angeles Zoo, and Andalas (2001), is at the Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary in Indonesia. Andalas was the first recorded Sumatran rhino birth since 1889 (112 years). Emi, who gave birth to these rhinos, died at 30 years-old of liver complications in September of 2009. This put the zoo\'s Sumatran rhino breeding program on hold. The zoo is working on getting Suci pregnant by receiving sperm from a male Sumatran rhino in Borneo to artificially inseminate her in hopes of breeding this critically endangered species. A baby male camel, Bogart, can be seen in the attraction.
