Rhino

The Rhino is in peril, and very few survive outside protected areas.

Once wide ranging, through Eurasia, and Africa, some species are endangered, some at the brink of extinction.

THE RHINOTASTIC PROJECT - TARGET DATE SPRING 2012

We have completed Stage One of the Rhino Project. We’re now well along with Stage Two.

This is a four year project for the team at Manor House... building a world class animal facility that Wales can be proud of takes time.

The EEP coordinator for the Southern White Rhino has determined that Manor House will join the captive breeding programme.

We’ll hold a bachelor group of young males... (this is how they’d live in the wild), until they reach sexual maturity and start to display signs of aggression. At this stage they will move to a pre-allocated breeding centre.

Such is the organisation, that although the rhino have not yet arrived at Manor House, we already know where they will be moving on to!

Once that’s done it’s out of our hands until the EEP coordinator arranges for the rhino to be moved. You can support this work by making a donation to the Rhino Fund.
