World Rhino Day: Nehru Zoo Gives Rhinos Fruit Cake
The Nehru Zoological Park in Hyderabad celebrated World Rhinoceros Day.
The zoo gave its rhinos a large cake made from fruit and green vegetables.
The cake weighed about 7 kilograms.
About 250 school students attended a talk show led by an animal keeper.
The zoo curator said educating people is an important part of the zoo’s work.
The zoo also breeds the greater one-horned rhinoceros, which is highly endangered.
The report says there are five rhinos at the zoo.
However, it lists six rhino names, so that detail is inconsistent.

An animal keeper conducted a talk show for about 250 students from different schools.
Zoo curator J. Vasantha said the zoo focuses on educating visitors and citizens.
