Lewa savanna will be really great. Rhinoceros, giraffes ... Appearance also looks very good. I heard that one of the imported female rhinos might be pregnant.
All seem white rhino from herd at Ramat Gan, although the one named Talatini does not ring a bell yet: the breeder is Tanda and a 2014 born daughter and a bull born 2017 by a different F at RG.
