Description
This is Suci. She is the 2nd Sumatran Rhino to be born at the Cincinnati Zoo. Her older brother was the first calf to be born in captivity in over 112 years. Her Parents Emi and Ipuh are part of a world wide breeding program in order to save this species. There are an estimated 150-300 left in the world. Suci will be 2 years old at the end of this July and she's an estimated 600 lbs. I was talking to a zoo keeper who was sitting at the area talking to everyone about her. He said Suci is the only Rhino they have ever seen or heard about that HATES being dirty! She knows that the mud gets rid of flies but she detests being dirty. She'll submerge herself and roll around in her mud bath for awhile and then she will proceed to make her way over to her waterfall and clean off. She has to look pretty for the camera.
