Hi baby! Our rhinoceros family grew by about 100 pounds Monday night when eastern black rhino Jozi gave birth to a calf, adding to the world population of this critically endangered species.

I read a previous post and I take issue. Rhinos are adorable at every age.

No, the mother lost 100 pds so it was a wash. Now the growing starts.

Well, technically Mom *lost* 100 pounds, so growth by weight is actually *zero* But really cool anyway!

You make it sound like the calf’s weight was 0 before the birth. Congratulations to the rhinos!
