Hope for Harry: The Story of Harapan the Rhino's Big Trip

Hawaiʻi Public Radio | By Dave Lawrence

Published November 26, 2015 at 5:17 PM HST

Today on the statewide afternoon drive version of All Things Considered on HPR1, during this holiday that includes among the heaviest traveling in the United States, we learn more about the remarkable journey of Harapan, the Sumatran Rhinoceros, and his 10,000 mile, 53-hour trip from the Cincinnati Zoo to the Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary. HPR All Things Considered Honolulu Host Dave Lawrence reports.

Cincinnati Zoo veterinarian Dr. Jenny Nollman walks with Harapan after arriving at his new home in Sumatra. Dr. Nollman accompanied Harapan, keeper Paul Reinhart, a zoo videographer and a local Cincinnati journalist on the 10,000 mile trip.

Happy at home, Harapan peeks out from his 25-acre private forested enclosure in the Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary, after his 10,000 mile, 53-hour trip from the Cincinnati Zoo, where he was born and largely raised. He is eight-years old.

GO RHINO: Hear and see the complete interviews that went into this feature to learn more about Harapan, the Sumatran rhinoceros, and much more relating to all rhinos.
