Baby White Rhino Born….

Yesterday in the park driving home, kids & I came across these 3 lionesses stalking zebra….

Then we came aross this rhino -white, because she’s grazing -& on closer inspection noticed she had a tiny calf nearby……

Astonishingly tough, these creatures, as this cow was translocated into NNP barely 2 months ago……..thank goodness they both survived!

Handsome little chap…..or is it a she??

How can something so tiny grow into something so large?

Magnificent creatures, rhinos, & lucky for them they have the 117 sq km of NNP to ‘be’ in…..

    Adorable tiny baby! I pray he grows up to be a strong adult with offspring of his own. My prayers are with the baby and mother that they remain healthy, strong and safe.

    Great news and thanks for sharing and may the little one be safe and kept out of harms way.. she was lucky to keep the baby during the relocation like you say.. all the best and wishes for more rains.

    It’s so wonderful to see green grass growing at the park! I’m going to visit Kenya in two weeks time and just wish that you get plenty of rain in order to bring life back to these amazing national parks.

    By the way, I think that rhino calves are absolutely beautiful and even grown up rhinos have beautiful eyes.
