Great Indian rhino, Whipsnade 1972

I think this is the male 'Manik' in the old rhino paddock, near the giraffes. 2nd June 1972
Love seeing photo's like these. You look close there? Was it a similar barrier that is behind him?

COOL SHOT!!:D I love it- Whipsnade at its best...

That is definately 'Manik', he was the 2nd (and last calf) of the original pair Mohan & Mohini. He was born in that 'garage- like' shed or the one next door. After Mohan died they had the mother/son pair for many years without any further breeding. Manik was a very tall bull if I remember.
