The one to the left seem relatively young. The other rhino looks more adult.

Have they bred as yet?

Great! I figured that … Must be the first zoo/safari park to do so (apart from the commercial rhino horn breeding facilities)!

Any further details?

I don't know more

I used to see a news report interviewing the rhino's keeper who mentioned one white rhino bred successfully during the day of his daughter's wedding day.

It is the second white rhino born in China （2009）. The first one was born in 2007 at Hangzhou Safari Park. And there is one born in Shilin, Yunnan Province in 2013 (it belongs to commercial rhino horn breeding facilities）. No more breeding report in China as far as I know.

At Shilin a few more (up to 4 I believe) rhino females where pregnant and should since have given birth!

Perhaps you can find some further info as to if these were publicized.
