hamilton zoo
Old 28-02-2007
Hamilton zoo in New Zealand continues its role as a male bachelor herd for giraffes. Dume, a young bull born at Auckland is now being transferred to Hamilton. Also three of Hamiltons rhinos are being transferred to Auckland zoo, while a single male will be sent from Auckland to Hamilton. It looks like Auckland will be recontinuing its breeding program with the rhino.

Smile Great news from Hamilton Zoo
Old 28-03-2007
I just found a small snippet in todays Dominion Post ( I almost missed it )

Another white rhino was born at Hamilton Zoo
but better still -- it is a FEMALE !!!!

considering that alot of rhino births in the region have been male , this is certainly great news !
