Editorial Analysis
White Rhino Zohari seen nursing new calf born at 10:45pm on December 24, 2017. Both mom and baby are doing very well, with reports that mom is very tired but a very calm and protective first-time mom. The calf is very big and strong, weighing in at 62.3 kg, he has been eating more than would be expected, and he apparently has very hairy ears. This is Zohari’s first calf, and he/she was sired by Tom, a 10-year-old male. This is the fifth birth of a white rhinoceros in Toronto Zoo's history, with the last born in 1990. \n\nThis recent birth is very important for white rhinoceros conservation as the species is currently listed as Near Threatened on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species and there are approximately only 19,682 – 21,077 left in the wild according to the IUCN African Rhino Specialist Group 2016. The Toronto Zoo is part of the White Rhinoceros Species Survival Plan (SSP), which aims to establish and maintain healthy, genetically diverse populations, and overall conservation efforts to save this incredible species.\n\nPlease note that Zohari and her calf are not currently visible to the public. Video taken on December 25, 2017.
