Old 25-05-2012

The potter park zoo is currently working on introducing their to black rhinos dopssee(f) and Jello(M) to help with breeding purposes later in life. It is a big hope of there's to breed these two because Jello is the last of his bloodline.

Then truly they are in the best of age ranges to breed successfully (a male should be ideally a few years older than the female and females become sexually mature at 3-4 years of age). Fingers crossed that they hit it off soon!

There has never been a single photo from this zoo on this website until today, and for those that are interested I uploaded 52 photos that were taken on my recent 50 day, 50 zoo/aquarium summer road trip.
