Experts Confirm Wild Birth of Critically Endangered Black Rhino, a Species with Less Than 600 Animals Left
The birth raises the Chyulu Hills eastern black rhino population to nine amid ongoing anti-poaching efforts and monitoring by Big Life Foundation rangers.
- A national park in Kenya confirmed the birth of an endangered eastern black rhino calf, the park's second in less than two years.
- Historic declines and low totals explain there are only around 6,500 black rhinos worldwide, including the eastern black rhino subspecies, according to the World Wildlife Fund.
- Rangers traced tiny three-toed footprints and identified the mother as 14-year-old Namunyak, then camera-trap footage photographed the calf with one of the park's 42 camera traps.
- Despite patrols, poaching continues to threaten the animals today, and the Big Life Foundation says it has dozens of rangers who patrol the park to monitor rhinos.
- The birth boosts the local eastern black rhino count, raising the Chyulu Hills population to nine amid its critically endangered status.
