He really stands out as a favorite animal to visit. He definitely has personality. I bet he'll love his new home in Kansas and I wish him all the best. If he is designated to be matched up with a female, I am sure he'll be a real charmer! I will miss Gram. He really stands out as a favorite animal to visit. He definitely has personality.

If so, he has sure grown in 8 years and is ready to take on new surroundings, and hopefully a lovely lady rhino. <em>Moderator's note: Our 90th Birthday podcast video featuring a squirming baby rhino was about Ricky, a black rhino.</em> http://www.sandiegozoo.org/wordpress2/2006/uncategorized/baby-rhino-with-an-attitude/ Is Gram the baby about whom the video was written a few years ago talking about trying to hold a squirming baby to be weighed, etc?

It is a testament to the kind of patience and trust that you have with Gram. I'm sure with the reinforcements he will do just great, he seems so easy going.Kansas wildlife park is lucky to be receiving such a magnificent animal. With his looks and artistic ability,he will surely catch the eye of a lovely lady rhino. Good luck Gram. Laura, how great that Gram is such a willing parcipitant in this training.

I was just in San Diego and took a " behind the scenes" tours. One of our stops was to visit Gram, the sweetie. We were told that it was unlikely he would come visit if he were lounging in the pool. As we arrived, there he was in the pool. We were disappointed, but soon started calling to him. To our surprise, Gram came over! What a wonderful ambassador for SDZ. Good luck and God Speed in Kansas, dear Gram! awww….I just met Gram! I was just in San Diego and took a ” behind the scenes” tours. One of our stops was to visit Gram, the sweetie.

Add lots of creativity and more patience and you end up with a cooperative Gram. Great job, Laura!! You obviously train him with enormous patience mixed with liberal doses of affection!

Sounds like Gram is quite a fellow with many talents. He must now be breeding age and ready to take on the lady Rhinos. Best wishes to him in his " greener" pastures. Hopefully you will have another young animal to care for once he moves on. Thanks Laura. Sounds like Gram is quite a fellow with many talents.
