Disney is introducing a new health initiative for the rhinos at its Animal Kingdom park, with its residents now sporting an activity tracker in order to monitor their daily movement.
Focussing on physical fitness, keepers at the animal attractions are monitoring heart rate, body fat percentage and the animals’ behaviour and activity while roaming their exhibit.
Disney is hoping that most of the animal attractions in North America with African rhinos will participate in the programme, so key data can be collected to see how rhinos behave in different types of habitat.
