Rare Rhino Baby Is Only The Second Of Her Kind Born In 128 Years

An amazing event took place in Indonesia last week. The International Rhino Foundation made an announcement that one of their Sumatran rhinos, a female named Ratu, just gave birth to a female rhino calf. Think that doesn’t necessarily qualify as “amazing”?

In May, Sumatran rhino, Ratu, gave birth to a beautiful new female calf, marking only the second Indonesia-based Sumatran rhino birth in over 128 years. Ratu, a 14-year-old rhino living at Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary, birthed her new calf with no complications. With fewer than 100 members of this species left alive on Earth, this little calf's birth is certainly a miracle in more ways than one.
