Last Ditch Effort For a Fighting Chance Against Extinction

While we've seen other White Rhinos like Keyah, but this is actually a different animal: a subspecies, the Northern White Rhino. There are actually only eight known remaining Northern White Rhinoceroses (all in captivity) with two living at the San Diego Zoo and six at a zoo in Dvur Kralove, Czech Republic. This twosome, Fatu and Nabiro, will be transferred to a Kenyan reserve in attempts to ensure the survival of the species.

Hiya, Keyah!

I'm definitely thinking this baby animal, like all others, is pretty adoro even at just five days old.

I'm definitely thinking this baby animal, like all others, is pretty adoro even at just five days old. Even though we can only see the start of one horn now, the White Rhinoceros will eventually have two, just like mom. Speaking of, I'm betting she's rather glad to finally have given birth as this species carries babes-in-bellies for 16 months (which is not even the longest of any land mammal).Check out another piccy of lil Keyah exploring the surroundings at Cerza Zoo in France when you read more
