Emily, White Rhino Calf / Colchester Zoo

After a 16 month wait, the Colchester Zoo announced the birth of a female Southern White Rhinoceros calf to female Rhino Emily on 13 April. This is the first Rhino calf to be born through a natural mating at Colchester Zoo and is the first calf for Emily and male Rhino Otto. Curator Sarah Forsyth said, Emily is proving to be a very protective but excellent mother and the calf is very healthy and already building a close relationship with her keepers — via ZooBorns
