Thula Thula Private Game Reserve in Zululand, KZN, sent us this wonderful news with 'awwwwww cute!' factor pictures of their new arrival...
Two months after our lone White Rhino Heidi was tragically killed by poachers, Thula Thula has welcomed a four month old baby White Rhino onto the reserve.

Nom Nom Nom - feeding time for Thula's "little" rhino
Relocated to Thula Thula on the 25th October, the 165kg youngster arrived after a fourteen hour long trip from Limpopo and was released on the reserve by his adopted family.
Much like new parents of a human baby, handlers Elaine Mowbrey and Pieter Leroux, have to look after the rhino 24 hours a day & feed him every 4 hours
He has since settled well into his new environment.
The Rhino was originally rescued by the Moholoholo Animal Rehabilitation Centre in Limpopo after being rejected by his mother at birth.

A Thula Thula staff member gets a hands-on experience of the newcomer.
Moholoholo Animal Rehabilitation Centre, a non profit organisation, is dedicated to the rehabilitation of abandoned and injured wildlife, and their re-introduction into their natural environments.
Congratulations, Francoise and all at Thula Thula on your new bundle of joy!
