This multi species habitat is home to Southern White Rhinoceros, Common Ostriches, Burchell's Zebras, Addra Gazelles, Lesser Kudus and Saddle-billed Storks.
The Zoo is home to two Southern White Rhinoceros. This is Stubby. He's a 22-year-old male and longtime resident of the zoo. In April, the zoo accepted the addition of Jaharo, a 4-year-old male from The Wilds animal park in Cumberland, Ohio. The two males are not presently displayed together as they are still acclimating to one another. Stubby's longtime exhibit mate, Daisy, died of old age back in 2016.
The Maryland Zoo is home to a trio of female Common Ostriches. Stubby's eye-sight is so poor, he must be wondering why those bushes are moving!
Another transition in the zoo's family is the arrival of 2-year-old Addie, a Burchell's Zebra from the Zoo at Idaho Falls. She joins the pair of 5-year-old sisters, Phoenix and Stella.
Addra Gazelles are native to the Sahel region of Africa and are endangered in their native ecosystems. They share a habitat with Lesser Kudu and Saddle-billed Storks.
