Eastern Black Rhinoceroses in South Africa Field Exhibit

Are they trying to breed Kendi and Aria, since they are in the same exhibit?

did you have to get on a ride to see the black rhinos?

@Animals R AMAZING! Yes, the park does hope to eventually breed this pair.

@PossumRoach I visited the park for work, so I was on a private tour, but yes, currently you must book a special experience to see any of enclosures only visible from the tram tour. The tram tour is expected to reopen within the next couple of weeks, however. The only field exhibit visible otherwise is the East Africa exhibit.

Eastern black rhinos in South Africa?

@Wyman - I think it's vastly more interesting that they are managing a breeding pair of black rhinoceros in a mixed species exhibit than to be concerned about the subspecies not being geographically accurate for the exhibit. None of the field exhibits have inhabitants that 100% match what the exhibits are called-- it's just not realistic.

Awesome picture. Do you know why black rhinoceroses are never seen in mixed species exhibits? Do they seem to be meshing well with the other species in the field exhibit?
