Rare Rhino Born in Czech Zoo

An eastern black rhinoceros born in a Czech zoo is a small, but important step in efforts to save the subspecies of the black rhinoceros from extinction. There are only a few hundred remaining in African reserves, where efforts are made to protect them from poachers. The new addition was born on October 2nd at Dvur Kralove Zoo, which boasts the greatest number of rhinos in Europe. A zookeeper says the calf is in good shape and will stay with her mother for at least a couple of years. After that, she might join four others from the zoo that were taken to their native habitat in Africa.
