I wonder what will happen to the calf? Its likely Port Lympne will 'reclaim' it, especially as it is female- as that is what they usually do with their breeding arrangements(they own the father).
Highly likely- the crate that brings Kingo (or another male) will take the calf back to Port Lympne-permanently...
Howletts/Pl always make sure they get the best deal with breeding loans-several times they have arranged trades where they exchange a male for a (more valuable) female- or get the first female baby born at the participating zoo.

I really don't know. For her own welfare I think the longer the calf stays with her mother the better- even a couple more years, but I doubt they will wait that long.
Am I right the 'calf' is in the foreground in this photo?- the one behind appears to have the more dipped back and longer body of an older female.
I do have to look twice these days, but I think you're right. Sita has larger horns too.
We discussed skin textures once - Kingo being smooth while Sita is wrinkled. You can see that Zuri takes after Sita here.
