    We used to sponsor the rhino Umfulozi at Edinburgh zoo around 1980 when I was in primary 2. She had a female calf which our class got to name and Rhona was chosen. I had to hand over a cheque and appear at the naming 'ceremony' for the Edinburgh evening news at the zoo, as the class had chosen my name. Does anyone know what happened to her? I heard she went to Paris zoo but that was many years ago.
