    The second White Rhino calf in a matter of weeks has been born at Knowsley! Winnie gave birth to her healthy female calf on the 30th December. Mother and baby are both doing well. The male calf born in November has been named Troy and a third calf is due in early 2011.
    Happy new year to all!

    Nice to go out 2010 with. Happy 2011 all. Hope the next calf will be female too ...!! :)

    Incidentally, what is to happen to the calves of the last crop of births?
