Hungarian zoo adopts white rhino

BUDAPEST, Hungary, June 28 (UPI) -- A Hungarian zoo has adopted a 2.75-ton white rhino from a safari park in Hanover, Germany.

The Vezprem zoo is getting the 30-year-old male named Pablo for free because the safari park couldn't accommodate him anymore. The zoo was charged only for the cost of transporting him, MTI said Thursday.

Pablo will live in a 2.5-acre enclosure at the zoo in western Hungary, a spokesman said.

The spokesman said the rhino is expected to draw many visitors to the zoo.
