SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) —Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner, and the Great Plains Zoo and Delbridge Museum of Natural History invite you to celebrate the Rhinos this weekend.
———–Below is the news release from the Great Plains Zoo
The Great Plains Zoo and Delbridge Museum of Natural History (GPZ) invites you to celebrate our biggest, greyest, bestest friends – this Saturday at Cinco de Rhino.
It all kicks off at 1 pm around the rhino yard with Watermelon with Rhinos! Guests can enjoy one of our eastern black rhinos’ favorite treats – right along with Imara, Jubba, and Komati.
Watching a rhino eat a watermelon is a delightful experience, but where they really shine is with their intelligence and trainability. Throughout the afternoon, GPZ zookeepers will share amazing facts about this critically endangered species – and show you firsthand why they’re worth saving.
Schedule of Events
1 pm Watermelon with Rhinos
1:30 pm Rhino footwork demonstration
3 pm Rhino zookeeper chat + plush rhino drawing
Be sure to enter to win one of 10 plush rhinos! Must be present at the 3 pm keeper chat to win.
The ROAR Café will be open, serving up walking tacos and margaritas (21+) – in addition to the regular menu.
Cinco de Rhino activities are included with GPZ admission.
