Pretoria Zoo. The three White Rhinoceroses together consume approximately the following quantities of food per day:
Dry luceme 60 lb.
Cut oat hay 75 lb.
Bran mixture 20 lb. (This contains 3% of common salt and 1% brewers' yeast)
Crushed maize 10 lb.
Bread 6 lb.
Carrots or other vegetables when available 20-30 lb.
During the greater part of the year, green Kikuyu grass from the zoo's lawns is provided in liberal quantities. As the illustrations show, the animals remain in good condition on the above food.
