Andalas
Profile Information
Birth Date: 13 September 2001
Age: 24 years, 7 months
Sex: Male
Location: Way Kambas National Park
Description
Andalas has been living at the SRS WKNP since February 10, 2007, after being transferred from the Los Angeles Zoo in the United States. This male rhino was born on September 13, 2001, at the Cincinnati Zoo, the offspring of a female Sumatran rhino named Emi and a male named Ipuh. His birth was highly anticipated, as the last Sumatran rhino born in captivity had been in 1889 at the Calcutta Zoo in India. After 112 years, a Sumatran rhino was finally born again in captivity, and that rhino was Andalas.
In 2012, Andalas became the father of the first calf born at SRS WKNP, named Andatu, after being paired with Ratu. Today, Andalas has three offspring (Andatu, Delilah, and Anggi) and two grandchildren, Sedah Mirah and Indra.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
FREQUENTLY ASK QUESTION
The Rhino Guardian (Virtual Adoption) program is an innovative fundraising initiative that allows the public to participate in rhino conservation through symbolic donations linked to specific rhinos at the Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary (SRS). It is designed to increase public participation and provide alternative funding for the urgent needs of rhino preservation.
The guardianship is symbolic in nature. While you do not physically own or take the rhino home, your symbolic adoption creates a real impact on the survival of rhinos in their semi-natural habitats and fosters a sense of ownership and connected toward Indonesia’s natural heritage.
Donations are used to support the high costs of conservation that require sustainable resources. Specifically, funds go toward:
- Providing essential food (pakan) and medical care for the rhinos.
- Ensuring habitat security and daily field operations at the SRS.
- Supporting research and breeding efforts for the Sumatran Rhino.
