Scanned San Diego Zoo Photos 1992-2001

Sumatran rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis)
I remember seeing this rhino at San Diego. Did San Diego ever get more than one of them?

I believe they had 2 of them, there names were Barakas and Ipuh, they were kept in elephant mesa in the paddock that the Bairds tapirs and Capybaras lived in
 
I like Labrador retrievers, but honestly i would rather see a Sumatran rhinoceros, I am %100 sure any Zoochatter would agree with me

can a Sumatran rhinoceros fetch a stick you throw? Labrador wins every time.
 
Sumatran Rhinos hopefully won't pee on your carpet though, and won't start barking and whining to go outside at 2:00 in the morning.:D

They may not pee on the carpet, but they may do one better. There were signs warning of rhino spray. The one time I saw the Sumatrans there, I was just out of range when one sprayed the crowd of onlookers.

Haha I think most Zoochatters would take that as an honor!
