| Irek, There is a Rhino Keeper Workshop held every two years around May. The last one was May, 2007 in Australia and you can find many of the presentations on the Rhino Keeper Association Website (rhinokeeperassociation.org) , under workshops. The next one is in 2009 in Busch Gardens, Tampa. adam |

I wish a workshop would be started for all European rhino keepers. I thought that the UK operates within the EAZA? Our rhinos and keepers in captivity need all the information exchange that may improve holding facilities and breeding prospects of our charges. |
