First-time mother Ruby gave birth to the Park’s first male Rhino on the same day the Park celebrated its forty-fifth anniversary. The tiny calf is healthy and nursing well from Ruby, who is proving to be an exceptional mother.
Keepers and a few lucky visitors were present when Ruby gave birth at 12.30pm on Friday 27th March. In less than ten minutes, the fifteen month pregnancy was over and thankfully, after a relatively quick labour, a new baby was welcomed into the family-run Burford collection.
Thanks to Cotswold Wildlife Park for the footage.
