Thread: Khao Kheow Open Zoo near Pattaya Welcomes Second Baby White Rhino

The Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Sri Racha, not far from Pattaya, welcomed a second baby white rhino.

Mr. Tewin Rattanawongsawat, the zoo’s director, revealed to the Pattaya News on Friday (September 22nd) that the second rhino baby ‘Top’ was born on July 15th this year but has just grown enough to be displayed to the public. Top is a male born to an 8-year-old mother “Zilla” and an 18-year-old father “Zoody.” The baby is in good health and strong and is under close monitoring by veterinarians. There are now six white rhinos at the zoo.

Every September 22nd of each year is celebrated as Rhino Day. Rhinos are a wild animal which are at risk to be extinct. Rhino Day activities are being held at the zoo from September 22nd to September 24th.


The White Rhino is the second biggest terrestrial animal after elephants. The biggest white rhino can be up to five meters wide, two meters tall and weigh up to 2,700 kilograms. Its lifetime is up to 55 years. White rhinos are originally from South Africa.

Maybe change Zoody's name to Russell.

Great zoo that. I wonder if they still make the elephant dance in the water like they do in their natural habitat?

another caged animal condemned to a life of misery in the name of conservation and as a product to realise a profit.

Great fun feeding them though

Yes, but feeding Thai gets tedious in the end. Fuckers never want it to end.

I thought pattaya was just one giant petting zoo for perverts to retire to. Didnt realise there was an actual zoo there. Whatever will they think of next

They don't look very white.

Could be imposters in some rhino disguise.

There's also a waterpark
