Celebrate World Rhino Day at the Zoo!
Rhinos help shape their ecosystems by grazing and browsing, which maintains grasslands and supports other wildlife. Yet, rhinos are threatened by poaching for their horns, habitat loss, and human-wildlife conflict. You can help protect rhinos by choosing sustainable products, supporting conservation organizations and eco-tourism, and spreading awareness about the importance of protecting rhinos and their habitats. Visit the Zoo to see the conservation work we support and how you can take action!
Fun Fact: A rhino’s horn is made of keratin, the same material as human hair and fingernails.
