A rhinceros at the Greater Vancouver Zoo has died.

Staff are reporting "Charlie" was euthanized today, because he was struggling while eating and drinking.


A necropsy determined his teeth had worn out, so he couldn't chew his food properly and as a result, his esophagus was blocked.

The 46-year old was transferred from a game farm in the Okanagan in 1988.
