AWWWWW: Cleveland Zoo welcomes baby rhino calf born on July 9
CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo announced Friday that an adorable female Eastern black rhino calf was born at the zoo earlier this month."Both mom, Kibibbi, and her calf are doing well and are bonding behind-the-scenes for the next few weeks," the zoo said.
According to the zoo, there are less than 750 Eastern black rhinos in the wild. Poaching and habitat loss have made their numbers dwindle to near extinction."Each of the names are connected to the Eastern black rhino's native regions in Africa. The calf's name will be selected based on the name that receives the highest total donation," the zoo said.If you'd like to help pick the name, you can cast a vote with a donation online, here.
