Quote:
A rare and endangered southern white rhino makes his official debut at Victoria's Werribee Open Range Zoo today.
The unnamed rhino was born at the zoo three weeks ago, weighing in at 60 kilograms.
Zoo spokeswoman Kate Reddin says it is a significant moment for the international breeding program of the endangered species.
"He's beautiful and it's a real coup for the zoo and for the breeding program and it's very special," she said.
