Award-winning Yorkshire Wildlife Park today/ yesterday (Thursday) welcomed two critically endangered black rhinos.
The two-year-olds – Hodari and Dayo - arrived at YWP just after 8am in a truck after traveling 800 miles from their birth place of Berlin Zoo.
The pair, each weighing about 750 -880 kg (when mature they will weigh up to 1500 kg) took the overnight ferry from Hoak van Holland to Killingholm before embarking on the final leg of the journey to Yorkshire by road.
The young rhinos were very lively on arriving at the Park and it was a delicate operation to manoeuvre the crate into position and to release the young rhino into their new purpose built house which measures 16 metres by 35 metres. They will settle in here for a few days and get to know the rangers who will be caring for them before venturing out into their extensive reserve in the Africa section of the Park.
Animal Collection Manager Simon Marsh said "We are really excited about the rhinos arrival as they are so critically endangered in the wild. It is great that we are now part of the European breeding programme and will be working tirelessly to raise funds and awareness for black rhino in the wild as well. Our rangers have been preparing and working hard to make it as smooth a transition as possible for Hodari and Dayo. They will not be on view to our visitors until they are settled and out in the reserves but hopefully that will be within the next week or so”.
Their arrival is another triumph for Yorkshire Wildlife Park, which is committed to conservation and welfare.
Black rhinos were almost extinct in 2011 until concerted efforts around the globe brought them back from the brink and numbers have grown to around 5,000.
The rhino population declined by 96% from 65,000 in 1970 to less than 3,000 by 1993 from a devastating period of poaching for their horns which are used to make ornamental crowns, cups and ceremonial daggers as well as fo

The vet needs access to the black rhino as soon as it succumbs to the sedative in order to start monitoring its vital signs. Often this means the RCB team needs to clear vegetation and roll the rhino onto its side. Since this adult female weighs 1.5 tonnes, everyone lends a hand. Prince Harry also keeps the rhino's head steady

As the sedative takes effect, a large female black rhino wedges herself into a sickle bush. It's important to protect the rhino's eyes during an immobilisation, so applying a soft blindfold is the first priority. Prince Harry is in charge of this delicate procedure. He has to move carefully as rhinos may take a swipe at any movement near their heads

Before a tracking device can be fitted to a black rhino, the animal must be anaesthetised, stabilised and then monitored closely. While the vet administers oxygen and checks the rhino's vital signs, Prince Harry pours water over the patient to keep it cool in the hot Botswana sun

Baby rhino Balu
Orphaned baby rhino at Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre, Limpopo, South Africa - 02 Dec 2015
*Full story: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/rqks
This adorable 3-week-old baby rhino is being nursed back to health after being found wandering alone in the bush in South Africa. He has joined 7-month-old calf Stompie at the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre, Limpopo. Curly mouthed calf Balu was found wandering in the veld alone during a violent storm. He was weak, thin and confused, the latest victim of rhino attacks reaching unprecedented numbers and escalating. Rhino are popular with poachers for their distinct horns, which are believed to have aphrodisiac properties and represents status in the East, with financial returns outstripping trade in gold, diamonds and cocaine on the black market. After reading the stories, and seeing the horrific photos of carcasses left to rot with a gaping holes where a horn once stood, photographer Michelly Rall decided to check out the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre and the work it is doing to protect this endangered species.
