CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) - The Cincinnati Zoo has become well-known the world over for its rhino conservation program, especially the Sumatran rhinos.

So the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County is pleased to welcome Zookeeper Paul Reinhart to the Main Library Saturday, Jan. 26, at 2 p.m. in the Reading Garden Lounge. He’ll talk about the adventures and research that led up to the zoo achieving this recognition.

The Sumatran rhinoceros is one of the most endangered animals on earth, with fewer than 200 rhinos distributed throughout the fragmented rainforests of Southeast Asia. Thanks to scientific breakthroughs, however, the first Sumatran rhino calf bred and born in captivity in 112 years, Andalas, was born at the Cincinnati Zoo Sept. 13, 2001.
