    What's in the box?
    The safari park's facebook page is running a competition for anyone to identify the animal arriving at the park from an overseas zoo.
    The winner will get a cuddly toy.

    (I just want to know, never mind the toy!)

    It's now been confirmed that the new arrival is a male White Rhino. He's called Kai and arrived from Givskud, Denmark on 5th May

    Its easy to say after the answer, but I looked at the crate and thought 'rhino' and by deduction as its Woburn, a white rhino. I would have been right. But I didn't want the toy either...:)

    Is Kai the white rhino that was originally born at Edinburgh?

    Affirmative.

    Officially: Kei (as in town in Sudan)/Kaj (b. 2000 Edinburgh).
    Do not get your hopes up ... though. He has never done a job at Give.

    What is up with the elderly rhinos?
    Is Arthur still about?

    It also begs the question what the status for Otzee will be?
