Knowsley Safari Park Confirms Death of Beloved White Rhino Piglet

The park said the elderly rhino had been under care for weeks due to age-related illness.

Overview

  • Keepers and a vet monitored Piglet for several weeks before the park confirmed her death.
  • Piglet was about 40 years old and had lived with the herd at Knowsley Safari Park for 31 years.
  • The park said she died peacefully and will be missed by her keepers, visitors, and the rest of her group.
  • Earlier this year, the park welcomed a calf named Kamari, showing the herd continues to grow.
  • Knowsley Safari Park says it plays a role in conserving Southern white rhinos, a near‑threatened species, and refers to a rhino group as a crash.
