Toronto Zoo

The 12-year-old white rhinoceros Tom at the Toronto Zoo got me thinking Albrecht Dürer’s image, created sight unseen, from 1515.

This video explains.

What a privilege to see such a wonderful creature in person in Toronto.

Toronto Zoo is museum no. 31 in my #100museums challenge (see 100 Museums Challenge).
