Pairi Daiza White rhinos at Pairi Daiza

[Jola]

As Pairi Daiza's white rhinos are missing on my rhinos website (they are not listed in the 2011 studbook), may I ask for help. I just know that there are three young white rhinos (1,2) imported from Africa in 2012. Where are they from? How old? And, last but not least, what are their names?
Thanks in advance.

Well, the white rhinos are male "Pamir" and females "Madiba" and "Eleonor", all born in 2008, at Pairi Daiza since 2012.

There has been a persistent rumor that one of the females was pregnant. However, lately I have not seen any further communication on it .. either website or elsewhere.

Isn't Pamir still too young for mating?

I do not know what to believe in PD case. Only known fact is there have been matings going on since last season.

I find it rather hard to believe (hence me saying it is a persistent rumor .. and no more than that).

Also, I am not too enthusiastic about their exhibit; too small by half for 3 growing whites ...
