I just had to post about this Wild Rhino I know it's supposed to be serious but all I could think of while watching was that this wouldn't be out of place in a Monty Python sketch..

It makes the annual pantomime horse look quite real...

How did Gareth Hale get involved in this? (White-bearded-zoo-man)

...was Norman (Pace) bringing up the rear?

It's got to be a wind-up or publicity stunt!.

Tangalooma_2006 never mind gave you some thing to talk about. So I gather you aren't into comedy.

My experience of rhinos is that they can be very docile unless provoked. I was on foot in the Masai Mara a couple of year ago and came face to face with two of these creatures, I took a number of photos from just a few feet distance in fact I was so close at one point that with my 200mm lens attached I could only get the head of one in shot. The Masai Guide did say that he would not have allowed me to get so close if there were calf present.

My pet rhinoceros, gets upset, when visitors refer to her as the 'elephant in the room'.

Luckily, Jumbo has got a very thick skin.

I loved the detail of the rotating ears and tail.

In Japan perhaps the idea is not so daft. I mean what do you do if during an earthquake some large and possibly very dangerous animals escape from the Zoo? This was an earthquake practice so why not make it enjoyable as well as possibly instructive for those taking part.
