One-horned male rhino will get a female company in Sipahejala Zoo

<br/> The one-horned male rhino ambling its way through the greens of Sipahejala Zoo in Tripura will at last get a female company, courtesy an animal exchange programme sanctioned by the Central Zoo Authority.<br/> A female one-horned rhino would be brought from Sanjay Gandhi Botanical and Zoological Garden in Patna, to give company to the male rhino who had never seen a female of the species ever since it was brought to the zoo six years back.<br/> The exchange programme aims at increasing the count of rapidly disappearing species of clouded leopards, pigtailed macaques and spectacled langoor in the Sipahejala Zoo. <br/> The one-horned rhino is mainly found at Kaziranga in Assam, Nepal and parts of South Africa.<br/> <br/><br/>
