Thank you very much

@Tim May
You're welcome!

I wonder, do you know if there's anywhere in the world which has at least three species of rhinoceros in captivity? I'm a bit of a rhino fanatic (not sure why, I just love them, they're such amazing and prehistoric-looking animals).

I assume there's no where with four or more because of all the Javan and Sumatran individuals being in their respective countries?

Thanks.

I wish Whipsnade and Chester still had three species of rhino!

You might find the thread below of interest

Zoos with three Rhino Species

Of course, if you go back far enough, there was a time when London Zoo had four species of rhino: black, Indian, Javan and Sumatran.

And, much more recently, White Oak Conservation Centre had four rhino species; black, Indian, Sumatran and white.

Ok thank you for the thread, I guess Whipsnade comes close with two species as do many other places but I'm so frustrated that Cincinnati Zoo doesn't have the Sumatrans anymore.

I would love to go back to the glory days of London Zoo just so see how many species they had, you could name pretty much any animal species (minus most of the cetaceans) and London Zoo seems to have had it in its past, it's incredible.
