NORFOLK, Va. (AP) -- The Virginia Zoo is welcoming its first baby Southern white rhinoceros.

The zoo announced Monday that the male calf was born to mom, Zina, and dad, Sibindi, on July 11.

Officials say the calf is strong, nursing well and is bonding with his mother.

Southern white male RINO - he has no idea how much he’s going to be hated …

Funny how this was posted right after a Liz Cheney thread.

Poor thing.

I would, however, avoid any white rhino rage.

[AndyJackson]

Of course it was a white rhino instead of a black rhino. The VA zoo needs to be canceled.

“White” rhino is mistranslation of the Dutch word “wijd”, meaning “wide” because of their wide mouths.

A powerful omen.

The last time a white rhino was born, the Zulu Wars broke out.

Just kidding.

[McGavin999]

Is it’s last name Romney or is it Cheney?

[2CAVTrooper]

Never knew Meagan McCain was expecting. 🤮

[GSWarrior]

Studies show that white rhinos are the most violent, the most unpredictable and the most likely to go rogue.

White Rinos Matter.

Aww, he is so cute! I hope no crazoid jumps into the enclosure to take their horns for some crackpot fertility drug.

[BipolarBob]

It's the End of Times Sign!!

[jocon307]

That’s racist, no?

Seriously, congrats to all on the birth of this new baby!

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Poor thing. He white!
Actually the name comes from a Boer word meaning “Wide” as his lips are wide. Linguistics(and English in SA) eventually changed it to “white”.
No doubt the powers that be will be changing the name soon.

LOL, I had a guy introduce me to his lawyer. They joked about white rhinos and the lawyer had a few white rhino decorations in his office. I asked the guy that introduced me what it was about and evidently rhinos, either male.white or in general are horny.

[dblshot]

Horny too.

[lee martell]

What an odd looking creature. Looks like
if an Elephant and a Mule had a Baby, that would be the result.

[Gene Eric]

The first? Where the heck did the others come from?

[Dante3]
