Endangered rhinos thrive at Potter Park Zoo
In 1970, about 65,000 black rhinos ran wild across the globe; but by 1993, only 2,300 were left, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature currently considers the species critically endangered. In June 2011, Potter Park Zoo, 1301 S. Pennsylvania Ave., in Lansing, received two black rhinos. The male, Jello, came from Zoo Miami, and the female, Doppsee, came from Sedgwick County Zoo in Kansas. The black rhinos are the largest mammals housed in Potter Park Zoo, each weighing around 2,600 pounds.
