      Is that mulch in the holding yard or just dirt?

      Mulch.

      Despite the new 'Rhinos of Nepal' building, rhinos are still sometimes in these yards.. If a rhino walks on the rubber matting at the back they get a warm water shower from nozzles situated on the wall- that is how they kept their skin moist in the absence of indoor bathing in these old houses.

      The male 'Hugo' seems to live permanently in the section on the far left and with access to the old paddock behind(in this shot) the building.
