The rhino that flew 10,000 miles

This week we're travelling to a place that is different for all
of us, but one we all hold close to our hearts: Home.


Listen to the heart-warming story of a keeper in Ohio who built
an unbreakable bond with a baby Sumatran rhino named Harapan.
Sumatran Rhinos are facing extinction and Harapan was the last
remaining in the Western Hemisphere, kept in captivity at
Cincinnati Zoo. To give the species the best chance of survival
in the wild, Harapan was to fly across the world and return to
the home of his ancestors – Sumatra, Indonesia. We also visit the
man who keeps a flock of homing pigeons in his back garden in
London and two young women who tracked down the symbol of their
heritage – the American Bison of Banff National Park.
