Join an expert Perth Zoo keeper behind-the-scenes for a tour of the rhinoceros night quarters, to see where this charismatic duo spend their evenings.

Our rhinos Memphis and Bakari love to come and say hello, and you’ll be armed with some of their favourite treats to thank them for their hospitality!
