Hello,

Greeting
Hello Reinhard,
Thanks for the tip! I immediately added.
Greetings from Vienna
The baby rhino at the zoo in Berlin has given the name Tarun.
Hi Steffi,
Thanks for the info, I'll subscribe right.
Greetings from Vienna,
Jola
Hi,
Just to let you know that there are a couple of errors with Whipsnade. They have as their male Hugo from Warsaw, and only three females, Beluki, Behan and Asha, as Rap and Sophie have moved to another zoo (possibly to West Midlands Safari Park)
Thanks a lot! Any idea when rap and Sophie were moved?
Thats ok, they were moved at the end of January as I think I visited at the beginning of February and a volunteer told me they had only just left!
Hello,
following news from the zoo in Berlin, the rhino was born on 16 females Saathi March to Beauval in France issued.
Greetings from Berlin
Hi Steffi,
Thanks for the info! Have ever held rhinos?
Greetings from Vienna,
Jola
if I do not know. I also found the info that's the rhinoceros bull from Madrid Daan partner for Saathi in Beauval. Greetings
Thanks for the info! 'm Somewhat surprising that a park gets a couple with no previous experience. Hopefully, Daan and Saathi understand.
LG, Jola
You have something to do. My writing in English is better than in German. I hope thats is not a problem.
So more info is coming up
Thank you very much for all your help. You're right, there's a lot do now.

A new cow (F1 with unrelated wild born founder bloodlines) is due in at Chester Zoo shortly.
Will check later tonight re. its name (age, dob, et cetera).
Best wishes,

Yes it is. She is also a F1 from 2 Wildfaenge! I have the exact information provided to you by e-mail.
Thank you!
