Guwahati: Two orphaned rhinos rescued and reared at the Kaziranga-based Centre for Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre for the past three and half years set out on a 401-km-long journey from Kaziranga to the Manas National Park on Sunday. A rhino that was rescued in Lakhimpur and translocated to the Kaziranga National Park died hours after it reached the park on Saturday. Manager, Wildlife Trust of India, Rathin Barman, who accompanied the two rhinos to Manas, told The Hindu that the two would be put in a pre-release enclosure before they were formally rehabilitated. The enclosure will be a pure wild habitat inside the park, covering a fenced area of about one square kilometre. The rhino population of Manas is believed to have been wiped out when insurgency was at its peak in the 1980s. Mr. Barman said the two rhinos would be kept in the enclosure for two years till they attained the adult stage. The rhinos got separated from their mother during floods.
