The as yet unnamed five-week-old black rhino calf exploring outside for the first time
Black rhino calf introduced to the public at at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park, Kent, Britain - 03 Mar 2011
A special arrival for Port Lympne Wild Animal Park has had his first introduction to the big wild world. The critically endangered Black rhino calf was born on 22nd of January and is now almost six weeks old. The as yet unnamed male calf was born to mother Ruaha, aged 14, after a gestation period lasting 15 months. His birth is particularly crucial at a time when all rhino species are forced closer to extinction. Over 300 rhinos were killed illegally in South Africa last year, which was the highest rate ever experienced in the country. This number included ten black rhinos, a species that is critically endangered. Numbers have declined by a staggering 90% over the last three generations and it is estimated that only around 3,500 individuals remain. The Aspinall Foundation houses up to 19 black rhino - the largest breeding herd outside of Africa. It has bred an astounding 32 calves to date, successfully returning 5 to protected areas of the wild in Africa.
