Rhinos in threat 

The rhino comes in as a boosting effort to save the magnificent species. According to the release by Disney, the birth of this male rhino marks the 11th white rhino calf born at Walt Disney World Resort. The release said, “Calf and mother are doing well under the keepers’ watchful eyes. While rhinos are gregarious by nature; for now, the calf is resting, nursing and bonding with his mom”. Guests of the park’s Kilimanjaro Safaris will be able to have a look at this newborn. Another good news is also on its way as members of the team are taking care of two other rhinos who are expected to give birth in 2021. This comes as an important step due to the decreasing number of this species. White Rhinos are considered to be the second-largest land mammal.
