Rare white rhino born at Ramat Gan safari

The six-year-old white rhinoceros Keren Peles gives birth to a calf at the Ramat Gan Safari.

The newborn, whose gender was not given, is healthy and almost immediately stood up and began suckling. The father, 35-year-old Atari, is reportedly “very happy,” the safari says in a statement.

It is the 27th rhino calf born at the safari, which is part of an international consortium of zoos working to pull the white rhino back from the verge of extinction.
