Zoológico de São Paulo

Av. Miguel Estefno, 4241 - Água Funda, São Paulo - SP, 04301-905

Wildlife park in Atlantic Forest where a loaned rhinoceros nearly won a city council election.

This guide to the Zoológico de São Paulo tells the story of Cacareco, a five-year-old black rhinoceros loaned to the zoo for its 1958 opening in this stretch of Atlantic Forest. You'll hear how columnist Itaboraí Martins, disgusted with that year's city council candidates, floated a joke suggesting voters write in the rhino's name instead. Walk the same paths and forest canopy she once paced through as you listen.
