@Robyn Graham, I wouldn’t jump to conclusions just yet; but if that ends up being the case, that would be awesome to hear!

My friend told me she is a keeper there

He's around the age that PJ was when the Central Florida Zoo acquired him, so it's not exactly far fetched.

Thats so unfortunate! I remember how about 5-10 years ago Arjun & Jamie’s (Zoo Tampa’s former breeding pair) male calf Jahi was transported to San Diego after living at the Central FL Zoo and died of mysterious circumstances when he was still quite young.

Jiyu went to san Diego in 2016 he died there
Jahi should be at Rum Creek been there since 2021

Does Rum Creek/Conservation of Tropical Ungulates have a website or list somewhere online of species in their collection? From what I’ve heard they function like the south FL version of White Oak.

Also with more Indian Rhinos in the population does this mean that someday private landowners which have the space and training can help AZA by keeping them on their proprties like how they do with exotic hoofstock populations?

I also heard it was Gronk

@Sarus Crane there are already several in FL I know of
