THE stork has a couple of big deliveries on the way to Werribee Open Range Zoo.

Hippo Brindabella is expecting the pitter-patter of big feet, with her second baby due any day.

And southern white rhino Si Si is also preparing for motherhood with her offspring expected to arrive late next month.

Hopefully both births will be successful, both females are needed to breed.

Primrose, Werribee's other breeding female, has had 1 unsuccessful and 3 successful calves - this is Brindabella's 3rd unsuccessful calf, so i think your first statement was correct.

Oh for some reason I thought Brindabella was the mother of tulip and Kijana. Good news about the oryx. Oh and does anyone know the parents of Primrose and Brindabella? Thanks
