A Black Rhino calf is born at Taronga Western Plains Zoo as staff at Taronga’s Wildlife hospital work to save two orphaned Powerful Owl chicks. A seal undergoes cataract surgery at Sea World while Adelaide Zoo awaits the arrival of some very special Giant Pandas.
Mum Bakhita the Black Rhinoceros gave birth without any problems in the early hours of the morning. Bakhita is being a great first time mum and she is bonding well with her calf.
The calf has been named Kufara meaning “happiness” in the African Shona language. Kufara is extreemly confident and now even takes bananas from keepers hands.
