Mara and Billie

Shortly before midnight on April 3, seven-year-old black rhino Mara gave birth to her first calf at Krefeld Zoo. The offspring is a female and has been named Billie by the zookeepers. Krefeld Zoo is known for its successful husbandry and breeding of the endangered black rhinos. Five baby rhinos have been born in Krefeld so far. Because black rhinos are solitary animals, there are two separate enclosures for the bull and the female.

Audubon Zoo

Audubon Zoo is an American zoo located in New Orleans, Louisiana. It is part of the Audubon Nature Institute. It covers 58 acres and is home to over 2,000 animals. It is located in a section of Audubon Park in Uptown New Orleans, on the Mississippi River side of Magazine Street. A habitat in African Savanna houses white rhinos Bonnie and Yvonne.

Hunted for the supposed medicinal power of their horn, Southern Rhinos were the first subspecies to reach the brink of extinction in our lifetime. Thanks to conservation efforts, they are now the most abundant kind of rhinos in the world. They are easily distinguished by their broad lips that re used for grazing on the African savannahs.

Thanks a lot Juliana

The greater one-horned rhinoceros, also known as the Indian rhinoceros, is a grey giant, second only to an elephant in size. An adult rhino usually weighs between 2-2.5 metric tonnes. Rhinos usually lead a solitary life, but they may also graze and wallow together. Calves follow their mothers for 1-3 years. One of the last populations of single-horned Asiatic rhinoceros lives in Chitwan National Park at the foot of the Himalayas.
