Original text on this topic:
This is the smallest of the three centres and has just a pair of Sumatran rhinos currently. A second female that had been until recently held at Sepilok has been moved to a small enclosure in Tabin Wildlife Reserve. Although there has previously been copulation at this centre (Bosi 1996), the site is deteriorating and another centre may be developed at Tabin or at a new zoo that the State of Sabah is constructing near Kota Kinabalu.
