| Description: |
When the Life in Crisis: Schad Gallery of Biodiversity first opened to the public in the spring of 2009, the Royal Ontario Museum was excited to be able to lead into the gallery with an iconic specimen, symbolic of what successful conservation efforts can look like.<br><br>“Bull” was a male Southern white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) captured from the wild in South Africa in the 1970’s as a part of a captive breeding program. He was transferred to the Toronto Zoo in 1974, where he would live until his death in 2008. It was at that time that arrangements were made for Bull’s remains to be transported to the Royal Ontario Museum, to become a centerpiece of the museum’s newest gallery.* |
