The date was today, so I guess maybe it was just posted today, but saw on Mombo's section of the Wilderness Safari site that the Mombo team found a new white rhino calf on March 4, this year.
According to the Mombo site... "..Guides estimate the birth date to be sometime in the middle of February. The mother's was released from the Mombo bomas during November 2002. The team have named the calf Lesero. This brings to five the number of white rhino born in the wild in Botswana since the beginning of the re-location programme. The total white rhino population now stands at 32, along with 4 black rhino. It is likely that there may be more births in the coming months, as the rhino have clearly settled down in their new home. "
I hope we get to see little baby rhino!!!! (Ok, maybe not so LITTLE???? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />)
