    0.1 White Rhino arrived from CERZA earlier this month. The female in question (Mosi) was born at South Lakes in December 2016 before being sent to France with her mother during 2018.

    Does anyone know if they already keep White Rhino at Oasys? Are they a breeding group?

    As far as I know, they already kept white rhinos in the past.

    They have maintained a pair for quite a long time now. Male Heinz (ex Hodenhagen - b. 1998) and female Iris (ex Burgers - Arnhem - b. 2002). The latter female must move if she is to breed at all.

    This makes me happy. It's not usual seeing Spanish zoos getting "rare" species.

    As far as I know, the Blandford's foxes are off show.
    But maybe something was changed in the last 26 months.
