There already has been a photo posted on the 'Zoo Photography' facebook page, that's how I found out about it

Indeed they do. As of the time of writing there is Kitani and her calf, and female Zuri, in the two areas of the main rhino house. Then there's bull Kifaru in the lone rhino house, female Ema-Elsa and her son Gabe in the house backing onto the warthogs, and then bull Magadi, young male Embu and female Malindi in the offshow rhino complex (by the car park).

Well in that case, fifty points to whoever can photograph the blue-legged mantellas

There should be a prize for photographing them.

[Embu]

The keeper doing the talk back in February said Kitani had been seen mating, like everyone else I`ve got everything x for it to survive especially as it`s her 1st with Magadi. Well done Chester

Surprised the zoo absent announced the birth, considering its been outdoors today

Perhaps it's to be sure it survives i use to question why they don't announce births right away but I understand why, they need to give the calf time to see if it's healthy and to be sure it's settled before the public see it.

Popped in today the Tsavo house was closed but could see the baby rhino through the glass if you looked closely enough.

The whole of Islands looks better now the planting is maturing, the new tapir exhibit looks done (well paddock) cannot see the rest of the phase 2 of islands well to see how far till its finished.

No sign of bear cub but with how tall the planting is, if they don't change the dividing fence then there is no chance of seeing the cub.

The dividing fence will not be moving!

But which baby rhino?

 

[Embu]

Something you not telling us SMR or you referring to Gabe? Back in February Ema Elsa & Gabe were in there on show, everyone else was off show. Any news on whether Embu will move on ? Im going back in next few weeks before my student discount runs out

 

[ShonenJake13]

As has been mentioned on the previous page the baby is new and is Kitani's.

 

[ShonenJake13]

A Black Rhino calf has been born to mum Kitani and dad Magadi. This is Kitani's first calf since her last one Fara died in 2015. The calfs name will begin with the letter 'H' following the zoos alphabet pattern for there baby Black Rhinos.
