Great Indian rhino

Adult female Beluki (I think) in outdoor pool. I have never seen an Indian rhino with a better horn. 4th August 2010

Yes I agree with you Alan it is the out door pool ;)

Also would have to agree with you about the horn it appears to be quite large for a zoo rhino :cool:
 
I should have worked harder with Photoshop :D

Absolutely not allowed...

I think the young female 'Asha' who you saw partially in the indoor moat might go fully in as she's smaller and still agile. I reckon those big females just don't trust their huge bulk on the slope/steps though and will never go in. Probably they are too old to learn new behaviour now(?) Its a great shame..:(

Their horns are never as thin and conical-shaped as in the wild(same with Black rhinos too)- presumably because they have no termite mounds to rub/polish them on?
