I think so. Must check though.
BTW: one of the older females had been confirmed pregnant!
Yes, Im pretty sure they no longer have any black rhino as their female Kit died a few years back. Perhaps they'll recieve a new individual soon.
At Fossil Rim? That's wonderful news!
He is the second bull to arrive the other one is Uhuru, lately of Abilene Zoo. He was supposed to take over from Kusamona who passed away. Suggesting a move for him or staying put at FR.
Advice: IRKA Facebook site 7 August excitement FR Team black rhino pregnant. Which one is it!
The park’s youngest male white rhino, Blake, has been transferred out to another facility. And the park’s new breeding bull, Khari, has been introduced to the park’s females for breeding. He’s recommended to breed with two of the females, Ursula and Xena. The other two cows, Mbili and Raka, are too old to breed iirc (Raka hasn’t produced any calves and she’s 20+ and her mother Mbili is already 40+).
1.1 Black-footed Cats have been born at Fossil Rim. The kittens were born on 3rd July to two-year-old female Bandit.
