These gentle giants may look tough with their impressive horns and armoured skin, but they’re actually as sweet as can be!

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

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