This sounds like potentially very good news for the future of the White Oak conservation programs. Earlier articles were openly talking about how the animals were seen as a negative asset for many potential buyers. It looks like they may have found the right people to continue the conservation work.

Hallelujah! I am over the moon.
Sadly, quite a few folks got sacked when the news first broke.
But hey, now we can rebuild.
 
Recent rhino moves:
Houston Zoo sent over its white rhinos (1.2) to White Oak on 19/11/2013.
The male Sibindi will go in the current herd, the females Lynne and Annie into the other herd with resident male Bully. Being wild caught they represent an important new bloodline for the SSP.

Newborn Indian rhino, a second for mum!
Female Indian rhino Jakichu is a mother for the second time. A male calf was born on 29/10/2013. The second this year at White Oak following a female calf to female Chitwan.

That individual is alive and well but simply morphed into a new species. :) I'm sure that they are watching from afar.
 
White Oaks has recently acquired a bachelor herd of Père David's deer.
 
Not much iin terms of news items on White Oak here .... rahter surprisingly!

Well some news for first few months of 2018:

Anybody know the names of the Indian rhinos at here? Also who is the mother of the most recent calf and when was he born?
 
The conservation center welcomed a male southern black rhinoceros calf (their first in 13 years) at the end of November and a female Indian rhinoceros calf at the end of December. Both calves are having to be hand-raised.
 
Two Somali Wild Ass foals have recently been born at White Oak. From their social media:

"What's better than a new Somali wild ass foal? Two! Say hello to the latest members of our Somali wild ass herd. They were born about two weeks apart and they and their mothers are doing great. Somali wild ass are listed as Critically Endangered and are one of the rarest wild equids in the world, so these two foals are an important addition to the future of this species. For now, we'll just enjoy watching them with their mothers as they explore their surroundings and get to know the rest of the herd. And the next time you visit, be sure to keep an eye out for them!"
