‘Extremely rare’ birth of baby White Rhino caught on camera
Mo is the sixth calf by breeding male Monty, making the Park home to the UK’s only two white rhino calves born in 2025, with nine rhinos now resident.
- This year Cotswold Wildlife Park welcomed Mo, female White Rhino calf, the UK's second this year, while Conservation Officer Bethan Peacock filmed Ruby's unexpectedly early labour.
- Jamie Craig, Curator and Managing Director, credited park keepers as Mo is Ruby's sixth calf with Monty and the thirteenth rhino born at the Park in twelve years.
- Just thirty minutes after her birth Mo was taking her first wobbly steps with Ruby gently encouraging her and using her horn; the calf will stay with Ruby for at least two years.
- The new arrival brings the Park's total to nine rhinos, the highest number in its fifty-five year history, and visitors can see the calves daily from 10am to 4pm in the solar-powered Rhino House or paddock.
- In total just six White Rhinos were born in European zoological collections in 2025, and the Park supports conservation through its partnership with Tusk, UK-based conservation charity.
