Fossil Rim's education department will host a World Rhino Day version of our free Family Fun Days at the Front Gate.
We plan to have a rhino crate, black rhino boot and a white rhino skull to show our guests. We will have informational displays about the five types of rhinos.
There will also be four interactive activities:
- painting your name on our wooden rhino
- color an emery board to keep that will remind you rhino horn is made from the same protein as our fingernails
- color and keep an informational rhino bookmark
- plus either take home a 2017 World Rhino Day button or draw your own rhino to create a button
Fossil Rim volunteers will give special tours focusing on our white rhino yard, which will cost $10 per person with the funds going toward the care of our Fossil Rim rhinos.
