Now this really is the 'Ahhhh, isn't she sweeeeeeeeet' thread! A very rare baby black Rhino has been born at Paignton Conservation Park [zoo] and there is a wonderful webcam in the compound. After 15 months pregnancy the baby was born yesterday morning. Mother and baby are both doing really well. Check it out. I tried a blue clicky but couldn't get it to work. Help, please.

It was suckling just a minute ago... bet Mum is glad the horn doesn't grow for a while yet!

Thanks for the link, I'd failed to get mine to work.

A real "Aaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!" moment.

only about 1/2 hour labour according to the website - a lot of women probably envy the Mum THAT!

Wonder why the sex ratio of babies is so skewed for born in captivity?
