well i hope introductions btween dora and kua go smoothly and as planned. i thinks its a shame WPZ didn't have the foresight to build a mixed species paddock for the rhino. hopefully, a successful breeding program for indians might spur another zoo to build an indo-nepalese terai type display, particuarly in the light of a decline in african hoofstock availability (asian, deer, bovines and antelope however are in large numbers and viable). still i wouldn't be supprised if they just become another black rhino - destined to remain a dubbo only attraction.

why is that?
