White Rhino Born at the Zoo in the night to Monday-the first Rhino birth at this Zoo-Mother and calf are doing well. Nashorn-Nachwuchs im Dortmunder Zoo - NRW-Studios WDR
Held black rhino previously (which bred). BTW: the female Shakina having given birth is 8.5 years old (born 2005). Female Jasira is est. 5 years old (so probably just coming into adulthood). The male is an F1 generation born in Erfurt.
One again an example of how unpredictable/dangerous adult male Orangutans can sometimes be in contact with youngsters, whether their own or not.

A Smooth-fronted caiman has hatched at Dortmund Zoo. The cluch was left in the enclosure and now the first hatchling has been observed .
Dortmunds youngest Orang utan Iklas-Paul has put asleep after it had become to weak to survive. It had internal injuries and an unknown respiratory infection .
What kind of internal injuries vogelcommando, do you know? So sad, why they not tried to treat him with potent antibiotics?
I don't know which internal injuries the animal had but I guess they have tried everything to save the animal but when the animal has to much pain I guess this is the most "human" decision .
