The Black rhino pair were called 'Kes' & 'Katie' and were born one each at London & Whipsnade, and they were also related- halfbrother & sister(same father). They did not live very long at Marwell, dying within a relatively short period of each other. I cannot remember the c.o.d.

Mark- Is the postcard you mention just of the black rhinos, or is it a 'multicard'(several different photos)?
