It's a girl! We are so excited to announce the safe arrival of a female Black Rhino calf to experienced mum Bakhita at Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo.
This is the fourth calf for Bakhita and both mum and calf are doing well. Watch the moment our cameras captured the first steps of the calf just 45 minutes after being born.
Bakhita and her calf are currently behind-the-scenes and will remain there for the next couple of months while they bond and the calf grows and gains more strength.
Stay tuned for more updates on the newest addition to our zoos!
