In this week’s Zoo Tales, Auckland Zoo keeper Henry introduces Mtoto, one of our male rhinos.
With that big horn on their heads, our rhinos may look scary to some people – but if you ask Pridelands keeper Henry, he’ll tell you they’re gentle giants!
The word rhinoceros is a combination of two Greek words – rhino (nose) and ceros (horn).
Council-controlled organisation Regional Facilities Auckland manages major regional facilities and iconic venues across Auckland, including Auckland Zoo.
