Rhino flies by areoplane to meet blind date

A one-tonne black rhino has arrived at Paignton Zoo by air to meet a special lady.

The enormous eight-year-old animal, called Manyara, was lifted into the paddock via a giant crane. He comes from Port Lympne Wild Animal Park in Kent where he was born, to join Sita, a ten-year-old female who came from Berlin Zoo in 2002.

Black rhinos are endangered, so it is hoped that the two of them will get along.

Watch the video below of another black rhino called Zawadi being delivered to the park:
