In Captivity

Bina is one of the first Sumatran rhinos to be captured and relocated within Indonesia. She is the oldest living captive Sumatran rhinoceros.

Andalas was the first Sumatran rhino born in captivity in more than 112 years. He is the first in a long line of Sumatran rhinos that will be bred in captivity. Eventually, they will go back into the wild to help boost wild rhino populations.

Ratu was born in the protected area where the sanctuary is located. She was chosen to be the primary breeding female with the sanctuary’s young male, Andalas.

In 2003, Rosa was spotted wandering through villages, looking for food. In 2005, she was moved to the sanctuary where she could be protected from poachers.

Andatu was the first rhino ever born in captivity in Indonesia. He weighed about 27 kilograms (60 pounds) at birth, but now tops 450 kilograms (1,000 pounds).

Harapan was born at the Cincinnati Zoo. His parents were part of an international breeding program. “Harry” was eventually moved to the Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary.

Delilah was born in 2016 at the sanctuary. She is Ratu’s second calf. She weighed 20 kilograms (45 pounds) at birth. Now almost fully grown, Delilah will soon weigh more than half a ton.
