    Really?! I didn't know they had that many in their entire herd! If they're purebr.ed, this is fantastic.

    I can almost guarantee they're not purebred.

    The number alone is staggering. Why would the Wilds breed hybrid bison? How does that help the species?

    To which baby Rhinos is this article referring to? The one called Scout?
    Also, has anyone got an idea where Indian Rhino Priya is? She is not at The Wilds anymore.

    Sichuan Takin born:
    A female Sichuan Takin was born on March 10th and has been named Elle, but what is interesting is that days after birth, she fractured her humerus on her right front leg. She is doing well now and the possible cause of the fracture was that an adult takin accidentally stepped on her leg.

    The 3 Southern White Rhino calves have all received their names!!

    Kifaru's female calf born on December 9th, 2020 was named Binti, meaning daughter in Swahili! :)

    Kali's male calf born on December 18th, 2020 has been named Akagera which is the name of a National Park in Rwanda and also means he arrives! :)

    Zenzele's male calf born on December 24th, 2020 was named Mo-Joe!

    July 4, 2021 The Wilds Update

    0.1 Sanya (08/14/99) Patrick x Indira the Indian Rhinoceros is pregnant! This will be her 6th calf. The father of this soon to be born baby is Jahi. The baby will be born in the fall of 2021.

    Last week the Wilds exported three Southern White Rhinoceros to other zoos. Currently The Wilds is expecting four white rhino calves that will be born at the end of the year.

    The Indochinese Sika Deer and Sable Antelope have been taken off exhibit. The Sable Antelope can still be seen in the Hoof stock Management Center from the Open Air Safari though.

    The Wilds has sent multiple Przewalski’s Wild Horses back to the wild. They are currently on their way to Moscow, Russia which from there they will be sent to Mongolia for their release. The current population of wild horses at the wilds consists of two females which are on display and nine males which are off display but still can be seen in a pasture on the left side on your way to the Carnivore Conservation Center. The park is currently working with a couple other zoos to bring more female horses to The Wilds.
