Hamilton Zoo

White Rhinoceros

This is the biggest Rhinoceros they have weighing in a small 2.2 tonne


Interesting fact: White Rhinoceros and Black Rhinoceros are exactly the same. The name chance comes from the shape of the mouth. A white Rhinoceros has a flat bottom lip for picking up food off the ground (grass / hay) where a black Rhinoceros has more of a pointed lip so that it can rip off leaves etc from trees / bushes.

Rhinoceros poo is huge. One lump was probably the size of a soccer / football.

Feeding time for the Tiger




They hid the food around the water as it is the natural area for tigers to go to for food. In the wild they will generally chase their prey towards the water.
