It'll be very nice to have a new Black Rhino to go and visit next in 15 months or so.
 
Did you say her 'calf' Zuri, has skin like Sita?

The last female they had for a short time at Whipsnade also came from Berlin and it had the same very grey, roughened hide.

Yes, she has although it isn't quite as wrinkled as Sita's. Manyara has been rolling in the muddy pond but I've never seen Sita and Zuri do that.

Let's hope another birth isn't as traumatic as Zuri's and that we can watch it all on the webcam again.
 
I remember being up at 02:00 watching and waiting. It was great when they finally took the camera off the loop and we could see them both.
