The birth of a rare baby rhino at Chester Zoo will be “celebrated globally”, according to keepers. The arrival of the female eastern black rhino following a 15-month pregnancy was caught on camera at the zoo. Andrew McKenzie, team manager of rhinos at the zoo, said: “The birth of a critically endangered eastern black rhino is always very special. “These rhinos have been pushed to the very edge of existence and every single addition to the European endangered species breeding programme is celebrated globally,” Mr McKenzie said. Followers of the zoo on Facebook can take part in a poll to choose between Kasulu, Koshi and Kaari.
