May 4, 2012 – A Male White Rhino is Born in Disney’s Animal Kingdom
“A rhino birth is a significant event because at one time the species was nearly extinct.”
On May 4, 2012, it was announced that a male white rhino calf was born at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. This was the fourth white rhino born to 13-year-old Kendi, who was the first rhino born in the park. His birth is also significant as being the third generation of the line that started at the park. Disney is part of specialized conservation efforts to help save the declining rhino population, which has grown to over 20,000 worldwide.
