Taronga is not-for-profit. Every dollar you spend saves wildlife.
Taronga welcomes a playful new resident, Hari, the Greater One-horned Rhino, who’s currently settling into his new harbourside home at Rhino Reserve. While he’s still settling in, catch a glimpse of him this summer.
Hari is joined by three playful Asian Water Buffalo, Kahn, Sahasi and Babu. They are bound to steal hearts with their big personalities and love of mud baths!
