You can tell the difference between the two by looking at their neck folds - Chutti's are significantly larger as he weighs almost 2,500 pounds more than Bhotu!

During this process, Indu and Chutti will be in the new yards on the right side of the bathrooms. While Chutti and Bhotu are related, they will remain separated because Chutti is fully grown, and adult males are solitary animals.

Coming from a different environment, Bhotu is taking his time adjusting to his new surroundings at the Zoo. He will have access to the large habitat to the left of the bathrooms on the tropics trail for the time being and access to the barn where he may retreat to if he feels the need.

What's better than one greater one-horned rhinoceros? TWO greater one-horned rhinoceros!
Yesterday, Bhotu made his Phoenix Zoo debut! Bhotu is a three-and-a-half-year-old from the San Diego Safari Park. In fact, he is Chutti's half-brother, sharing the same father!

Our male maned wolf, Thiago, has found a new home at the Lee Richardson Zoo in Garden City, Kansas by recommendation of the AZA. Thiago came to us in November of 2020 and was born at Abilene Zoo on February 11, 2019. We will dearly miss having him around and wish him the best in his new home!
