The Daniel Maltz Rhino Reserve more than doubles the size of the previous rhino habitat, offering enhanced features for the rhinos and an expanded guest viewing deck.
Construction for the $2.5 million habitat started in September. The expansion includes a second indoor rhino barn and introduces several complexities for the rhinos, including overhead shade and misting areas, a mud wallow and rubbing posts. A viewing deck will be installed for guests.
