White Rhino Born at White Oak

White Oak Conservation Center is excited to announce the birth of a Southern White Rhino. While any rhino birth is good news for the conservation of the species, this is a unique situation. The rhino calf, born May 3rd, 2010, is the youngest of 3 generations of females living at the Conservation Center! The calf's mother, and grandmother, all reside at White Oak Conservation Center.

All three of the rhinos interact with each other, as well as the other adult white rhinos, and another young white rhino, which is approximately 7 months old. The group of rhinos, known as a crash in rhino terms, live in a specially designed spacious facility at the Conservation Center, which allows the rhinos to interact and feed in natural surroundings.
