Encounter Africa - Black Rhino Shoots Water! (New in 2013)

Aug. 13th, 2014.
This black rhino statue is awesome! I saw two people get very wet as water shoots out of the rhino's butt in an incredibly life-like manner whenever someone gets too close. One great thing about both the African Rift Valley and Encounter Africa sections of this mountain zoo is that there are life-size statues of giraffes, elephants and this rhino that are superbly detailed and therefore are great photo opportunities for visitors of all ages. Also, the bush plane behind the rhino was crammed with kids on my visit.
 
Is there any warning you might get sprayed? If not, I would be very upset if I walked by and my three thousand dollar camera body got wet.

There is a warning sign a few steps before the rhino and a big wet mark on the ground and yet I saw 2 different people get hit as they were either busy chatting or not paying attention. Lots of zoo visitors simply do not read signs.
 
I think they have something similar to this at Chester zoo in England although I think it's just the rear end of a rhino rather than a full scale model.
