    Can you divulge where they got their white rhinos from? (wild or zoo and source)?

    As for black rhino: Only the male left Adventure World. The female is still on site.

    Adventure World's only remaining polar bear, male Raito/Light born in 2013, has moved to Hirakawa zoo in Kagoshima city on Kyushu island.

    Source:
    https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000563.000040302.html

    The article mentions that it's a "breeding loan", but Raito is the only polar bear at Hirakawa zoo for now.

    By the way, if I'm not mistaken, Raito is the grandson and only living descendant of Edinburgh zoo's famous polar bear Mercedes.
