She’s adorable, endangered, and covered in wrinkly armored plating
. The Chester Zoo in the United Kingdom has announced the birth of a greater one-horned rhino in a news release. While the still-unnamed baby is just weeks old, she’s already an impressive size. She weighed in at 50 kilograms, or around 110 pounds, when she was born on October 14. As an adult, she’ll weigh more than 3,000 pounds, according to the release. And the birth has been a long time coming. The calf’s mother, Asha, had a 16-month long pregnancy, says the release.
But protection efforts by the Indian and Nepalese governments have helped boost the species’ population from less than 300 to over 3,000, says the WWF. The International Union for Conservation of Nature categorizes the species as “Vulnerable,” meaning they are at “high risk of extinction in the wild.” “We’re absolutely thrilled with Asha and her new arrival,” said Sam Harley, the zoo’s rhino team manager, in the news release.
