At Zoo Basel in Switzerland, an Indian Rhinoceros gave birth during the night on 5 October. The calf, a boy, was given the name Kiran, a Hindi word for sunrise. Kiran is nursing well and bonding well with his mother, 31-year-old Ellora. On his first day, Kiran weighed 68 kg and stood just over 66 cm tall — via ZooBorns
