White Rhino trio arrive at the Houston Zoo

With The African Forest opening in December, the Houston Zoo is once again home to rhinos. After a 54 hour trip from Johannesburg, South Africa, a trio of white rhinos arrived on October 14, 2010. Here's a look at part of their adventure; from landing at Bush Intercontinental Airport to their arrival in their new home at the Houston Zoo.

Thank you so much for sharing all the details of this! I am so glad everything went smoothly after the one delay in having the containers arrive. I love the way the one is so curious about her new surroundings. She does not seem at all apprehensive. Those are three very lucky rhinos to be moving into such a wonderful new home.
