There is a little more hope for breeding in the UK with the new rhino bulls at Port Lympne. Going to check out stuff this pre-summer again.
The decision to send the individuals on transfer either to Folly Farm (as previously planned) or Flamingoland depends on several matters, one of those is exhibit finalized and ready to accommodate safely and securely both for animals and staff members rhinos at either facility. It could still go either way! However, ultimately the studbook keeper in cooperation with both facilities will undoubtedly decide what is best from the animal management perspective.
We should be happy that two more institutions within the UK are entering the EEP for black rhinos. There is a real need for new holders within the region with plenty of young animals on offer now and in the intermediate future.
