Buckles said...: I am not familiar with the names "Hoya" or "Hian" but the name "High" is listed in an act imported from the Hagenbeck Zoo in 1910 which I believe was "Rio's" original name.
I don't have any individual pictures of him but since he was a tuskless male he probably appears in herd photos.; 03 May, 2006 07:10
