The rhinoceros enclosure was well appointed with stones and posts to keep the rhinoceros interested.

A rhinoceros rubbed its horn on a stone face, presumably to sharpen it. Or, the rhinoceros attempted to blend in with the color and texture of the stone.

A rhinoceros laid down to rest. Its eye barely open, it looked remarkably comfortable.

The rhinoceros enclosure was surrounded by greenery. The visual effect was designed to make the two rhinoceroses comfortable.
