Britador for queimodo para evitar epidemio

Note
Location Captive Subject Veterinary Species Black Rhino (bicornis)

Quinzinho, the male calf born at the Rio de Janeiro zoo in 1956. According to a newspaper from 1958, which announced the death of Britador (the breeding male), it is said the baby's causa mortis was infanticide (he was [maybe accidentally?] stepped on by one of his parents).
