Bowling For Rhinos : Support Rhinos in Africa With the Little Rock Zoo

July 17 is the Little Rock Zookeeper Association's annual event for Rhino Conservation, Bowling For Rhinos. Bowling For Rhinos is part of a national zoo keeper effort to support wild rhinos. One hundred percent of the proceeds earned from zoos all the country goes to benefit the wild rhinos in Africa and Asia.

The event takes place at Millennium Bowl and admission is $25. That gets you two games, shoe rental and one door prize ticket. There is also a silent auction. I've been told that there are some great auction items up for bid and that there are more door prizes than ever.

This is a great year for the Little Rock Zoo's rhinos. Just a few weeks ago, the zoo got a new black rhino from Lincoln Park Zoo. Her name is Naivasha and she's a pretty girl . . . for a rhino! The zoo already has a male black rhino (Johari). Naivasha is meant to be a companion and possibly a mate for him.
