Audubon Zoo

Audubon Zoo is an American zoo located in New Orleans, Louisiana. It is part of the Audubon Nature Institute. It covers 58 acres and is home to over 2,000 animals. It is located in a section of Audubon Park in Uptown New Orleans, on the Mississippi River side of Magazine Street. A habitat in African Savanna houses white rhinos Bonnie and Yvonne.

Hunted for the supposed medicinal power of their horn, Southern Rhinos were the first subspecies to reach the brink of extinction in our lifetime. Thanks to conservation efforts, they are now the most abundant kind of rhinos in the world. They are easily distinguished by their broad lips that re used for grazing on the African savannahs.

Thanks a lot Juliana
