Jang in Nepal

Jang rhino bull, whose name means "The Strong" or "The Strong" in Nepali, was seriously injured in July 1997 as an orphan at the age of six months and found in the animal rescue center for orphans of the Royal Chitwan National Park nursed back to health. He should have been returned to the wild, but Jang was characterized too much on people. Because the "problem child" again and again devastated the fields of farmers in the area and ate the corn, he was recaptured and should - spend his life in a small enclosure of the sanctuary - as Sundari.

In March 2006, Jang was with rhino rhino-girl Sundari in the park at the zoo. Here are two photos of the evacuation in Nepal:

Jang and Sundari have survived the long journey well and settled down within a short time in Vienna.

Jang is blind in his right eye, the vision in the other eye is also not particularly good.

On the other hand, the food tastes yummy too! 12th June 2009

This does not prevent him, curious to explore its environment to flush out the axis deer in the grounds and to gallop through the area. Even the car in the pool he has carefully examined.

Jang m waiting here in February 2009 on the inner lining of the plant:

Although he is fully grown with 12 years ago, he continues to enjoy human attention. He also regularly takes part in medical training. He can easily give even eye drops in your eyes!

He enjoys the winter after the frolic outside the warm water in the shower ...

... And also enjoys playing with his Kong Toy particular, in the special treats (pieces of fruit and vegetables) are hidden. In this photo, its bright spots on Popsch are clearly visible.
