There was a helthy rhino when I visited last time. but today when I went for a trip to the zoo I saw a Rhino with a fatal daisies. The Rhino has a overgrown throat and at that part there was some whole here and there blood and slime are coming out form those wholes.

Does that zoo have a vet (animal doctor) there? Did you talk to anyone who works there about the rhino?

I dont have any idea about Rhinos. and I also dont know the Zoo has a doctor or not. but this is also creats no diference to me because i think if there is a doctor, he is not getting success to cure the disease. Would u plz tell me what is the disease and how can I help the nice animal.

I don't know what the disease is or the cause of the symptoms. Your best chance to help the animal is to talk with someone who works there about the animal and voice your concern about the rhino's condition. If that does not seem helpful, then contact an animal welfare society in your country or a rhino conservation group.
