The grounds of the rhinos is geographically as opposed to the house very spacious with many different soils and slopes. In spring 2011, the former elephant plant was adapted for the rhinos. Now the animals are three outdoor installations with 1100 m², 1300 m² and 3500 m². (Thanks for the info to Dr. Mägdefrau, Deputy. Director, Nuremberg Zoo!)

Since in a rhino-group, only one male, several females may be sensitive, the small zoo do not have to leave.
