The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums

Posted in ,

Australia's Taronga Western Plains Zoo has welcomed the arrival of a female Black Rhino
calf born in the early hours of Wednesday 17 February 2010 to first-time
mother Bakhita.
Both mother and calf will remain off display in behind-the-scenes
paddocks over the coming weeks to ensure that Bakhita has time to adapt
to her new role as mother and that her calf can familiarize itself with
its new surroundings.

    It’s bizarre – small rhinos are cute where their parents are terrifying.

    Cute is right! Also learned that two king cheetah cubs were born at Taronga back in October 2009.
