Tierpark Berlin acquired a three-month-old Indian rhino female named Kanchi from the animal dealer Munro in August 1966, but she died in January 1967. This loss was compensated in August 1967 by another three-month-old female, Kumari, from Nepal. She is still living at the Tierpark. In 1971 she was joined by the young bull Mysore; he was born at the Indian zoo of the same name on 13 February 1968. In 1985 a male calf was stillborn to Kumari, and on 1 January 1990 the male Belur was born, who was to take the place of the breeding bull after his father Mysore died on 23 December 1996, aged almost 29 years. In October 1994 the Tierpark received the female Jhansi from San Diego Wild Animal Park on loan from Wilhelma, Stuttgart. Jhansi was born in July 1990. On 21 January 1995 she gave birth to a female calf, Betty, at the Tierpark, having been mated by her father at the Wild Animal Park when she was little more than three years old (Blaszkiewitz, 1995).
