Southern white rhino had a ’dental check-up’ requiring the assistance of over 20 zoo keepers | SWNS
A team of more than two dozen zoo keepers and vets were drafted in to help give a two-ton rhino her dental check-up.
The squad helped safely place the huge southern white rhino called Mikumi on a bed of straw while was knocked out.
It took four keepers at Whipsnade Zoo, Dunstable, Beds, to hold the 31-year-old rhino’s giant jaw open while her teeth were checked.
Senior veterinary officer Dr Taina Strike liaised with experts from all around the world to plan the three-hour dental examination.
She said: “As humans age they may naturally develop tooth wear and tear, as well as decay, and it’s no different for rhinos.“
Equine dentist Dr Chris Pearce gave Mikumi the check-up after she was anaesthetised on May 16.
