A white rhino was born
at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay this week, the seventh white rhino to be born at the
park since 2004. The baby, shown with mom Kisiri, is not yet named. It weighed
about 140 pounds at birth and is expected to gain about four pounds a day until
it reaches an adult weight of 3,500 to 4,000 pounds. Busch Gardens says that fewer
than 15,000 white rhinos remain in the wild, and approximately 200 live in
zoological facilities across North America. Busch Gardens has eight black and white rhinos.
