Keeping my fingers crossed but still wondering why they it was allowed to almost killing the species practically to extinction in the first place will always be scratching my head over this and praying this works!❤

I'd blame many of the Asians' obsessions with ivory like something precious more than gold, etc.

This was sadly due to illegal poaching of their horns which leads to killing them. Conservation efforts just could not stop it from happening it seems.

What are the odds that it could kill the rhino

IM BEGGING THE BABY WILL BE BORN HEALTHY (hopefully it will be male)

[@arianebolt1575]

Practically speaking, they need more females, as there is plenty of frozen sperm. But I'm sure they'll be glad to get a living calf.

There's no such white Rhinos. They are either light brown or dark brown. Simples.✌️
