    The average lifespan for rhinoceros iguana in captivity is around 16 - 17 years; so for him to live up to 42 is just amazing.

    This is why Australia Zoo is such a lovely place to visit, because you can really feel the love the staff have for their animals and how dedicated they are to making sure they live the best possible life under their care.

    Oh no, Rhino! This news has made me cry. So grateful I got to see him in Dec last year. I had a fear of reptiles, but Rhino and the reptile family at Australia Zoo helped me overcome that fear. Rest in peace, buddy ❤️❤️❤️

    I remember seeing juvenile Rhinoceros in Taronga Zoo in 1993, and not seeing a full adult. In 1994/5 I first saw Rhino, I was 9 or 10, not only thrilled to be at the Croc-hunter's reptile park/zoo, but I was amazed with how big and beefy Rhino was. The park was smaller then, and Steve was actually more notorious in the USA at that stage than he was here, but I loved his documentaries at that age. I would revisit the park/zoo many times since then because until recently, Noosa was our favorite holiday spot, and I would usually see Rhino, though the entrance I initially used is now a small exit (I think??). I don't visit as often now, because my parents who I often holiday with find it a little too sad since Steve is gone, but I follow you guys on youtube and its always great to see. Incidentally, I still marvel at how Steve's 2 kids are all grown up now and carrying on his legacy, it's amazing, I remember being at uni when little Bob jr dipped his toes in the crocoseum pond way back when.

    I never had a chance to meet this icon, but I am watching this with tears running down my face. The love you all had for Rhino is easy to see, as is his love for you all. I am so sorry for your loss. I may never get to Australia Zoo in this life, but it will be one of the first places I go in Heaven. I’m sure Steve is there loving all the animals that have crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I am sending love, prayers, and hugs to you all!

    I was only a volunteer at a zoo for three summers, but every time an animal at the zoo passed away I feel like I’m losing my family. Even animals I never worked with or near, I feel it in my soul. I can only I magazine how much more intense it would be losing an animal family member you spent so much time with for so long.
