“Years and years of working with rhinos has certainly taught us one thing: much like humans, rhinos all have very different personalities. Some are sassy, others are reserved, many are inquisitive and almost all are very protective of their crash and their young. The new mom pictured here is named Rachel, and she’s what us humans would call an introvert ☺️ It’s fairly unusual for female rhinos not to walk with a crash, but Rachel is the exception. She seems to enjoy her own company and the dominant bull on this property had to actively woo her for almost a year before winning her affections. (Girl has high standards...! 😂 #relationshipgoals ladies!) When we performed a horn devaluation procedure on Rachel in November 2017, she was probably already pregnant (white rhino pregnancies last between 16 and 18 months) with this little bundle of cuteness, born just a few days ago. What a blessing to see her now - a proud, nurturing mom, calf at foot and striking horns intact.”

“Did you know that in the 1970s there were only an estimated 200 golden lion tamarins living? Zoo Atlanta has participated in golden lion tamarin conservation for nearly 30 years, and there are wild golden lion tamarins living in the Atlantic Coastal Forest today who are descended from two family groups from Zoo Atlanta. Thanks to conservation efforts the numbers in the wild have increased to around 3,000!"

“After a gestation period of about eleven months, one of the California sea lions has thrown a puppy. Last year this mother was inexperienced, so another mother from the group took over suckling the young. Fortunately this year it goes well right away. Now the two are still taking it easy in the indoor area, but later this week they will probably decide to go outside.”

Meet Mats!
“You're great: Almost 1,000 suggestions in just five days! As of today it's clear: The little Bonobo boy's name is Mats. As usual in Berlin, Mats is a nickname. It stands for the African name "Matayo", which means "gift". "Mats is a gift for the entire animal species," says zoo director Dr. Andreas Knieriem. Especially due to habitat loss and poaching Bonobos are endangered.”

“Marwell Zoo in Hampshire is celebrating the rare and safe arrival of an endangered okapi calf born at the zoo – and it’s a girl! The precious female calf has been named by keepers as Niari, which means ‘rare’ and is an area in the Democratic Republic of the Congo where okapis are found in its tropical rainforests. First-time mum, Daphne, and Niari are both doing well and are currently off show, out of the public eye, to ensure they bond and the calf settles during the nesting period. An okapi calf can be on its feet and suckling within half an hour of being born. In the wild, the mother will leave her calf in a hiding place to nest, returning regularly to allow the calf to nurse. Okapis are relatives of the giraffe.”
