Houston Zoo Will celebrate World Rhino Day on September 20 through September 22.
Special events are planned on Sunday, September 21 from 10:00 AM to 3:00PM at the African Forest. Visitors will enjoy the follow activities:
- Special education on the five species of rhinos
- Make homemade rhino masks
- Visit with the zoo’s rhino mascot
- There will also be items for sale such as magnets, bracelets, and necklaces.
All proceeds from the sale will benefit the Lowveld Rhino Trust, which is helping to educate schoolchildren in Zimbabwe about rhinos and other animals.
In addition the Houston Zoo has a call to action this weekend: Be a Rhino Hero: Donate a Wildlife Book!
Directly contribute to saving rhinos in the wild by bringing in a new or gently used book about wildlife to donate to our friends in the field who are protecting rhinos in Africa. These books will be used to educate local communities in Zimbabwe about their amazing wildlife. Each person that donates a book will receive a rhino conservation bracelet AND a Houston Zoo Conservation Hero pin!
Houston Zoo is a leading organization in wildlife conservation. This will be a great World Rhino Day Celebration!
