rhamphotheca:Endangered Rhino Born at Berlin ZooOn October 2nd, Zoo Berlin’s Black Rhino (Diceros bicornis), ‘Maburi’, gave birth to a healthy baby boy! The yet-to-be named bull calf is, according to keepers, doing exceedingly well. Even without a horn, he can confidently stand on his short, sturdy legs and survey his surroundings. Soon after birth, the calf nursed for a short while and was soon standing on all fours. Protective mother, Maburi, is keeping watch over him in the safe confines of the rhino barn, at the zoo. Zoo Berlin Director, Dr. Andreas Knieriem, said, “The Zoo Berlin is world famous for its successful Black Rhino breeding. The small bull is already the 18th born in Berlin. We are very excited about the new breeding success of the highly endangered species.”Photograph: Zoo BerlinLearn more and see more pics at: ZooBorns -- source link
