Sumatran rhino history

Pictured above is Emi(who died Sept. 5, 2009) with her unprecedented third calf, Harapan(male).

"Andalas," Emi's first male calf, and the Cincinnati Zoo's first Sumatran rhino calf, has produced the first Sumatran rhino pregnancy in Southeast Asia for the global captive breeding program. Andalas and his mate, "Ratu", both eight-years-old, were brought together through international goodwill and cooperation in an effort to save this critically endangered species.



One of the greatest books written on the history of rhinos in captivity(which is a member of my personal library that I have read 3 times, and am going to read a 4th time after the holiday's) is THE RHINOCEROS IN CAPTIVITY, SPB Academic Publishing 1998, Authored by L.C. Rookmaaker, Marvin L. Jones, Heinz-George Klos, and our very own Richard J. Reynolds. Below is a taste from google books:
