Rhinos Get Glitter to Track Fertility | Adelaide News

Monarto Safari Park’s rhinos are getting a glittery upgrade—literally—to help scientists track fertility with dazzling precision. By feeding blue and gold edible glitter to young rhinos Carrie and Savannah, keepers can easily identify whose dung is whose, speeding up hormone testing and boosting breeding success. This clever, proven method—already used on older rhinos and African Painted Dogs—helps catch pregnancies earlier, allowing optimal mating timing. With southern white rhinos endangered due to poaching, every calf matters. The glitter isn’t just a fun treat—it’s a vital tool in conservation, and for now, it’s staying with the rhinos.
