Disney's Animal Kingdom® Park Disney's Animal Kingdom

Since when did Disney recieve any Asian Rhino? I'm guessing that they're kept in one of the Asian hoofstock paddocks near the tigers if they do have them...

 

I don't know if they do or not.
I'm just saying that I think Cat-Man has the two confused, and that they're more likely to have Indian rhinos over Javans.

 

No, deffently Javen and Sumartran, not Indian

 

Where have you got this information from?

I seriously doubt Disney would have Javans and Sumatrans, it's a near impossibility.

 

czjimmy i have some questions
1 Why no spotted hyenas
2 Plese could you send me the spieces list, i am going in 2 weeks

Is this Poss?????

P.S They are in the Malayan Tapir Paddok and I cant remember where i found this out sorry Ithink the s rhinos came from Cincinate zoo

 

Disney were contemplating hyenas but decided against them. They're at Busch Gardens in Tampa Bay though (or they were) if you really want to see them.

As for species list, i don't know where one of them could be found...

Again, where have you read that they have Javan and Sumatran Rhinos?

 

That would only account for sumatran rhinos, not javan. ISIS still lists Tapirs at DAK so the rhinos wouldn't be in that paddock and having two very endangered species would have meant that there would have been some media coverage.

Just make sure that you double check your info before posting something like that...

 

Yes there is deffently spotted hyenas at Busch gardens i went in 2006, and why dont couldent they Keep brown, Striped or Aridwolf or something

 

But you still haven't answered where you heard they had Sumatran and Javan rhinos.
It's not on their website, I still don't believe they have them. Like CZJimmy said, it's nearly impossible.

 

DAK doesnt have Sumatran or Javan Rhinoceros. As for Indians, I do know they are part of the collection plan and there is some development ongoing on the property. I was told that if any new development were to occur it would have in Asia or the Camp Mickey-Minnie. Disney in general does not usually leak out any specific information regarding their developments, not even elephant pregnancies. If they have Indians, they were probably received from the old Peace River place.

A complete species list is available at one of the unofficial disney sites.
Animal Kingdom Species List

 

I'd like to see them get Indians though.
What do they have already, rhino species wise?
Edit: Never mind! Just found out, I read the link lol

 

Total Rubbish !!!!!

 

Thanx okapikpr,

I was just about to post that DAK does not currently have any Indians. Given the site setting and their Asia section, it is conceivable that in the not too distant future they might acquire surplus bull Indians (San Diego needs to rehome several bulls in the next 2 years or so).

 

Tiger & Rhinos

I Found out the info on j&s rhinos on a tourist website, it clearly staded Javen & sumartran Rhino. Plese awnser my question and here is another, the Spieces list ses Asian tiger, please could you tell me the subspieces kept there

 

They are generics. That's why they say "Asian" tiger which I always thought was a little weird. But they have 6 female tigers of unknown and or mixed origin.

 

Tourist websites often don't fully do their research, so are not the most accurate resources. For example, a UK one had said Chester had polar bears nearly 20 years after they had gotten rid of them.

 

Like we have observed previously your average tourist site is not particularly well versed in species identification. It is a load of ...... (you can fill in whatever you like).

DAK may get Indians, but Sumatrans are in very short and Javans in no supply for zoos. Just so you do not get any ideas (and please have a little faith and trust in the forumsters here ... we do know what we are talking about).

 

Sorry Cat-Man I cant seem to find the information in many of the disney forums. What I have found is:
-the closing of the Pocahontas show
-the naming of DAK's new elephant calf (Tsavo)
-plently of rumors regarding the beastly kingdom area
-the arrival of okapi at the Lodge

Cat-Man could you post a link to the site where you found the information?

 

Disney having Sumatran and Javan rhinos is insanely ridiculous, but I did see two sumatran rhinos today. The American Museum of Natural History in New York City has an adult and baby stuffed in the Asian Mammal gallery!
