Introducing you to Australia’s newest baby white rhino
Queensland’s Australia Zoo has welcomed the addition of a baby white rhino into their family.
The male calf was born after a 17-month gestation last Sunday and already weighs a staggering 45 kilograms.
He started suckling his mother, 21-year-old mother Caballe, shortly after his birth and even stood up to take some wobbly first steps – under the watchful eye of his mum, of course.
Head keeper for African animals, Manu Ludden, said Australia Zoo was elated by its new arrival.
“We are so happy to announce the birth of another healthy baby rhinoceros,” she said.
The calf, who has not yet been named, will spend his first few weeks just with his mother as he grows stronger and masters the art of walking.
