I960's/70's. One or more of the calves bred at the Zoo may have been moved to Hollywood. There was definately an unrelated bull bred at Hanover Zoo called 'Rupert' also kept there, living in a bullpen. He was an extremely nervous rhino and later was moved to Whipsnade.

Yes. I can't remember the exact year it was acquired by/bequeathed to them but someone on here may know.

Just checked the NWCP pages on the Bristol Zoo web-site , it gives a quite detailed history of the estate on one page.
I was wrong about the estate being bequeathed , it was purchased in 1965 by the Zoological Society following the death of Sir Stanley White . His widow continued to live in the house until 1970 . |
