Taronga Western Plains Zoo has one male indian rhino called Dora. he came from San Diego I think. They also have black and white rhinos and other zoos around Australia have whites but I don't know any others by name.

Toronto Zoo
Indian Rhino 1.1
Southern White Rhino (single female)

Hopefully this doesn't sound to clueless to ask, but are breeding populations in zoos with Rhinos, are they structered like elephants? As in will a male be present at a particular time due to aggressive nature, or do the males often stay with the females?

Some zoos have very large groups of rhinos some of note are the

San Deigo wild animal park, USA (largest group of Indian rhinos) also a large herd of white rhino and a small group of Black rhino,

Port Lympne UK (Black rhinos), One of the largest groups world wide.

Whipsnade zoo UK (Indian rhino & White rhino herds),

Western plains zoo AUST (Black rhinos, white rhinos & one Indian rhino), also a number of other zoos world wide have large breeding groups

Thanks, seems rhinos are very social animals, though there was something I read that suggested the Sumatran is solitary

27-09-2008

Most rhino do species live alone or in small groups ( usually sharing a mud wallow) however the White rhinos seem to be more of a social animal and do form small herds of cows and calfs

There are a few Rhino websites with lots of infomation that you could have a look at such as SOS RHINO, Rhino resource centre, and others
