Gulf Breeze Zoo welcomes Soman, a 15-year-old greater one-horned rhino
View Comments
It s been a fantastic few years for the Gulf Breeze Zoo when it comes to acquiring rare rhinoceroses and giving hope to their respective species.
At the beginning of April, the zoo celebrated another milestone by welcoming Soman, a 15-year-old, greater one-horned rhino. The 6-foot-tall rhino weighs about 5,000 pounds and is about 12 feet long.
The rare Indian rhino has spent the past month getting accustomed to his spacious new surroundings at the zoo at 5701 Gulf Breeze Parkway. Soman is settling in by hanging out poolside with the animal care staff while enjoying the occasional fountain mist, a refreshing treat as the weather warms up.
