White rhino male calf born Christmas Eve/Toronto Zoo
There’s much excitement at the Toronto Zoo this week as a healthy white rhinoceros male calf is nursing well and seems quite robust. It’s mother, Zohari, 7 years, and baby are doing well, with the calf weighing 62.3 kilograms at birth. It is the first white rhinoceros to be born at the Toronto Zoo in 27 years. The gestation period for a white rhino is upwards of 500 days and usually only one calf is born at a time. The zoo says the Christmas Eve calf is big, strong, nursing more than expected and has very hairy ears.
