RARE RHINO ARRIVES IN INDONESIA TO MATE

JAKARTA: A rare, US-born Sumatran rhino arrived yesterday at his new home in Indonesia, an official said, where it’s hoped he will find a mate and give his criticallyendangered species a shot at survival. Harapan, an eight-year-old male whose name means “hope”, arrived at a specialist rhino sanctuary on Sumatra island at dawn after a long journey from a zoo in Cincinnati. A senior biodiversity conservation official in Indonesia’s forestry ministry said the rhino was “adapting well” after travelling 36 hours by air, sea and land to reach the national park. – AFP
