Rhino Update 🦏🦏🦏
Bill, Kande, and Winnie have made great progress with their introductions. They are even spending some time together throughout the day. You might just be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of all three rhinos exploring the habitat together! During this "get to know each other" stage our keepers have observed lots of natural rhino behaviors. Don't be alarmed if you happen to hear lots of vocalizations, notice their tails curled up with excitement, or see any chasing or sparing. These are all natural rhino social behaviors as they become one crash - literally what a group of rhinos is called!
Right now, there is no set time when all three rhinos are together. In fact, you might catch the females spending time away from Bill, for a break from all the excitement. We'll be sure to keep everyone updated on their progress becoming the Riverbanks rhino crash! ... See moreSee less

Most cats don’t like water, and they definitely don’t swim, right? Well, that’s only true of some cats. Others like jaguars, tigers, and fishing cats LOVE love the water! Fishing cats are one of the best swimmers around and are completely at home in the water. Fishing cats mainly eat fish but also dine on other prey found in the water, including crabs, crayfish, and frogs. In fact, fishing cats have even been seen swimming underwater to grab a duck’s legs.
