    A sad and sorry loss and really too young.

    BTW: Kalmali is a location in central India, a somewhat peculiar name for a snow leopard far from its main habitat ...

    I’m sure it’s no reflection on the excellence of this zoo, but scrolling through this news thread is a depressing business - one death after another!

    A male black rhinoceros calf was born Jan 20:

    Endangered black rhino born at Garden City zoo

    Johari is a first-time mother and this is the first black rhinoceros born at the zoo.

    The father is Jabari who was outside at the time of delivery. Male rhinos do not participate in raising the young.

    Johari, who is 10, and Jabari, who is 7, arrived at Lee Richardson Zoo in 2016 from the zoos in Cleveland and Atlanta. It was on the recommendation of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Eastern Black Rhinoceros Species Survival Plan (SSP).
