Meet the Fab Four
Meet the Rhino Reserve’s ‘Fab Four’, Greater One-horned Rhino Hari, and Asian Water Buffalo trio Kahn, Sahasi and Babu. Recently arrived from Taronga Western Plains Zoo Dubbo.
As the group settle in to their new surrounds, you might spot the buffalo wading beneath the cascading waterfall, cooling off with a splash or grazing nearby as they explore their new habitat.
Keep an eye out for Hari, whose 1.8-tonne playful personality and growing confidence make him a powerful ambassador for Rhino conservation efforts.
