BABY RHINO GALLOPS INTO PUBLIC

-

Singapore: A baby white rhino has made his first foray into the spotlight, galloping into a public enclosure at Singapore Zoo after being given a name — Oban, which means “King” in the African Yoruba language. The calf had spent the first few weeks of his life bonding with his mother in private, but when he reached one-month old, zookeepers decided it was time to introduce Oban to the public enclosure, home to another six white rhinos. After moving in yesterday, the curious youngster frolicked around and chased birds as he got know his new surroundin­gs.
