Hand-raised rhinos translocated to Manas National Park from Kaziranga

A pair of hand- raised rhinos, a male and female, have been translocated from Kaziranga National Park to Manas National Park in Assam.

The translocation was carried out by a joint team of Assam Forest department, International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) and Wildlife Trust of India, an official of the Manas Natioanl Park said on Wednesday.

These rhinos were rescued during the 2016 floods in Assam and brought to the Centre for Wildlife Research and Conservation (CWRC) in Kaziranga, where rescued animals are hand- raised, rehabilitated, and sent back to the wild.
