VIDEO: Jamil the giant to draw crowds to Fota

A lumbering giant will today be unveiled as the newest attraction at Cork’s top tourist draw.

Coming in at a weight of one tonne, Jamil the Indian Rhino will certainly be the biggest summer arrival to the Rebel County, and his arrival marks the second phase of Fota Wildlife Park’s ambitious Asian Sanctuary development.

The Indian rhinoceros has only one horn and is an endangered species, but Fota Wildlife Park director Sean McKeown said that they plan to help the conservation effort by bringing more of the animal to Cork for breeding.
