Toronto zoo added a new member on Christmas eve when Zohari, a seven-year-old female white rhinoceros, gave birth to a male calf on December 24 at 10:45pm.
In a series of tweets, the zoo said, “The calf is very big and strong, weighing in at 62.3 kg. He has been eating more than would be expected, and he appears to have very hairy ears.”
The zoo added, “Both mom and baby are doing very well, with reports that mom is very tired but a very calm and protective first-time mom.”
A white rhino baby is born after 500 days of pregnancy in these species.
