Sumatran Rhino |
|
In the interior cages there were 2 adult female Sumatran rhinos, of which one had a young calf of about a week old, born in the zoo on 24 May 1987 according to the keepers. There also was an adult male. All three adults were wild caught, and they were very tame. The mother of the calf had been caught when pregnant. The keeper went into the enclosure with mother and baby and the mother did not only allow him to touch the calf, but also liked to be scratched herself. The male was let outside and after some play, he lay down and allowed the keeper to scratch his stomach.
