North American AZA Southern White Rhino Population

Here is a list of all the Southern White Rhinos in North American AZA accredited zoos, there are many others in private collections such as Rum Creek and White Oak so I have excluded those from this list since it is very difficult if not impossible to track all those individuals down. There is a total of 174 (68.104) known Southern White rhinos in 45 different facilities in North America accredited by the AZA. There are two pregnancies that were made public by their respective facilities: Lola and Jao at DAK who are both due in fall/winter 2021. And also, according to @Mai Thai four females at The Wilds are pregnant and due in Winter 2021 (it is unknown which females are pregnant). Two calves have been born within the North American AZA population this year: Dhoruba at ZooTampa in June and an unnamed male calf in July. SWR are doing quite well in terms of breeding in this population but this year has been rather slow for births since only two calves have been born in over 7 months. Anyways, as always please let me know if you have any info that I need (indicated in red), if I have made any mistakes, or missed any rhinos or zoos!

BTW: There are some individuals who share a name with another so to avoid confusion I have listed their studbook number.

Also, I believe there are some AZA accredited zoos in Mexico but idk if they have SWR so if anyone could help me out with that, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

 

I believe you forgot about White Oak Conservation

 

White Oak works with the AZA but isn’t accredited so I excluded them.

 

Ahh okay thank you

 

In México Leon Zoo has 2 male SWR, Africam Safari Puebla has 4 male SWR . Both zoos are recognized by the AZa. Other mexican zoos also have SWR, though only Guadalajara and Zacango have male and female paírs.

 

They're certified, with is nearly exactly the same as being accredited, but is for facilities that aren't always open to the public. They have to meet all of the same standards, inspections, etc, but don't have to have a public education program or factor the public in when designing exhibits, basically. Accreditation vs. Certification

 

Oh that's good to know. White Oak has a quite large group of SWR and I have little to no info on their crash since they rarely release info on their SWR. The only thing I do know is that five calves have been born there this year (from their Instagram) but if anyone knows more about their crash, let me know!

 

The calf has been named Mosi. Such a unique name!

 

It means " First Born" in Swahili

 

Yea, I know. It's just over used imo.

 

Indeed

 

I believe the NC Zoo still has a male named Stormy as well.

 

yes Stormy is still alive

 

Stormy was sent to San Antonio a couple months ago.

 

0.1 Scout (10/23/19) Kengele x Agnes Rose
0.1 Bing (12/06/19) Kengele x Agnes Rose


This is under The Wilds.
Is this accurate? Two calves less than two months apart out of same parents?

 

Oh that’s incorrect, sorry

Bing’s mother is Anan not Agnes Rose.

 

I have a feeling that the pregnant ones at The Wilds are Anan, Firefly, Bossy Boots and Agnes? I have nothing to prove these statements, it’s just based upon the fact that the other females had babies in 2020.

 

That's my guess, as well.

 

Through a colleague, I found out White Oak currently holds 40+ S. White rhino, with more due to birth

 

The Lucky No. is 41.
