Inspired by the Safari Society’s Animals and Authors series, the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association recently hosted a special reading of the Goodreads Choice Award–nominated Lulu is a Rhinoceros, featuring authors Jason and Allison Flom. The story of a bulldog who just knows she’s a rhino was a huge hit with visitors.
Following Lulu’s journey was a special appearance from L.A. Zoo Animal Keeper and rhinoceros expert Mike Bona, who shared about rhinos in the wild. Guests learned about these magnificent animals, the real-life little helpers they depend on in their habitat, and what people can do to protect them.
