I was under the impression they were wild. Either way, I don't know the species. It means a Reticulated x Rothschild's hybrid.
Is anyone familiar with the names of the female southern white rhinos? I went on a tour yesterday and I got close to one of the females and I cannot remember her name - I want to say like firestar or stardust? She's a female who has not had a calf of her own yet, but she tends to nanny the babies.
She is local and born in 2011 and does not as yet seem to have had a calf. There are big changes happening in the composition of the Wilds' white rhino herd and all I can say she is included in their breeding plans.
