      Do you know if the rhinos have ever been mixed with the elephants? Were there ever hippos mixed with either?
    • Kwambeze
      Only White Rhino and Elephants, no hippos.

      Thank-you!

      Were the rhinos and the elephants ever mixed in the same area?
    • Kwambeze
      Yes, on this Savanna
    • Zooplantman
      But now they are separated. Was there a problem, do you know?
    • Kwambeze
      I don´t think so. They tried to mixed Cheetha and Rhino, and it worked out well. You can ask them on their email if you have more cuestions.

      I saw elephants mixed with rhinos up until the middle of the 1970s (haven´t visited the zoo since then), but I am willing to guess that this practise went on for much longer than that. Perhaps up until the rhino/cheetha savanna mix was created and that mix cannot be that old, I suspect.

      NOW I AM BECOMING CURIOUS :)! I will e-mail the zoo and ask about this. I´ll get back to this thread if I get an answer.

      Thanks, Dan!

      I see in the old map that was posted, the cheetah is separated and the rhino is shown with the elephants. But perhaps that was artistic license
