THEY ARE ready for the stampede.

A total of 58 mini rhinos revealed their new looks with the help of sailors from HMS Collingwood at Marwell Wildlife this week as they prepared to take part in the Go! Rhinos public art extravaganza.

The smaller rhinos have been decorated in a variety of colourful designs, by their schools, who signed up to be part of the project.

They will join the life-sized rhinos, sponsored by businesses across Hampshire, when the trail through Southampton’s parks and streets goes live for ten weeks on July 13.

The Daily Echo-backed event aims to boost the local economy by providing this unique tourist attraction for families to enjoy.
