In 1868, a young male African Rhinoceros, believed to be the first received in Europe since the days of the Romans, was purchased from Hagenbeck, who received it from Casanova. It was in excellent health and quite tame. Till the Elephant House was finished, the animal was kept in the Giraffe House. And also the African rhino, purchased in 1879, died.
