Bronx Zoo Rhinos: Monorail Viewing Tips

Rhinos follow shade, water, and gentle slopes.

Viewing Tips

• Watch tree lines and water edges.
• Scan ahead; movement is slow but steady.
• Spot “rest triangles”: shade + breeze + visibility often predict pauses.

Seating Strategy

• Left side has a slight edge for common hotspots.
• Front cars reduce cabin chatter; easier to hear wildlife sounds.

Photo Notes (From a Moving Train)

• Use fast shutter; brace elbows on the window ledge.
• Shoot short bursts when terrain clears; pick the sharpest frame later.
• Avoid full zoom; crop in post for clarity.

Tip: Sit on the left side for a slight edge on rhino views.

Bottom Line

Monorail viewing rewards patience—your best rhino moments come when you stop expecting instant action.
