Hi cottoni,

What is your goal I would ask first? Which locations would you like to visit? Should there be any relation to rhinos (as you are a rhino keeper)?

Let us know and perhaps we can work out a schedule for you!

Regards,

I have a good friend who is a rhino keeper at Cincinnati--I'll get in touch with her and see what she can come up with for you.

Hi, thank you guys for the quick answer. My goal, visiting Cincinnati zoo is to see Sumatran rhinos, I must admit ! I've been thinkin about that for ages, and I think now I am ready to travel that far ( even if I am still worried about 9h flight ).

I am not currently rhinokeeper but I have been in the past when I worked in Dvur Kralove zoo with northern white rhinos. It was amazing, in the futur I hope work with the 4 whites rhinos we have got here at Africa Alive, Suffolk!

Everything is welcome, informations, contacts, friends, pictures...

Thank you Rookeyper for your help


Kifaru is one of our male rhino, born in CERZA zoo in France and now in UK

Don't drink alchol, plenty of water and watch a couple of movies.The time will fly ;]

Hello, I will probably go to Los Angeles zoo and New York zoo too, if you know some keepers there, would be good.

I sent email to the zoos directly but sometimes they dont pass on the messages... Hope you could help me

Thanks for everything

Perhaps you'd do well to post on the discussion board at AAZK (AAZK.org)
That will put you directly in touch with keepers around North America
