We had the first birth in any zoo outside of Africa of the white rhino. I brought in a pair of rhinos. I took years to find just the right pair that I was looking for. And I found the pair that Fred Zeehandelaar, a good old Fred J. Zeehandelaar, an animal dealer for those who wouldn’t know him, or they didn’t know him. Fred had brought them into Gelsenkirchen Zoo in Germany, and they were for sale. Well, I glommed on to that very quickly and I bought the animals. A rancher gave me the money for the rhinos. And at the same time San Diego was bringing in 20 of them and they put their 20 on their preserve, the wild animal park.
