Additional Event Information
Join us for World Rhino Day at the Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens, and help us give PJ, the greater one-horned rhino, the warmest send-off as he gets ready for his next big adventure!
PJ is heading to the Buffalo Zoo in late September as part of the greater one-horned rhino Species Survival Plan (SSP) – a critical conservation program that helps endangered animals thrive. He’s going there to help pass on his genes and grow the population of greater one-horned rhinos. It’s what he was born to do!
We’ll miss him of course, but this move is a big win for his species, and we’re throwing a rhino-sized celebration in his honor! Join us on September 20 for special World Rhino Day enrichment, Keeper Chats about PJ, rhino care, and the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) SSP Programs. We’ll also have rhino-themed activities for all ages, including a table to purchase art created made by PJ!
