Rhino Exhibit at Saigon Zoo, 16/03/12

A decent-sized exhibit split into two to allow separation and home to Southern White Rhinos.

There is a plan afoot to relocated Saigon Zoo out-of-town, where it will become much more 'safari park' in style - hence the collection is much stronger on big African mammals than Hanoi - rhino, hippo, giraffe, lion, zebra, gemsbok, wildebeest, blesbok and kudu are all present. These exhibits also have much larger signs that almost look to have been made to move straight into the safari park.

It is too bad that they don't have a breeding program that could have protected their own native rhino from going extinct:eek:, but I guess that this a problem that the best minds in the zoo world haven't been able to make work for the Sumatran rhinos, much less their more hyper-endangered Javan rhino cousins.
