Mazumba the 100lb baby! UPDATE with pictures

[Killearn Kitties]

A new baby has been born at a safari park near me. She will meet her public for the first time tomorrow, and she is a little cutie in her pictures.

Mazumba is a white Rhino, and births in captivity are extremely rare.

Jen, I am almost positive that your little one will not be the size of a baby rhino! :p

Yes, I think I will try to visit soon, to see the new arrival.

I don't think you've seen a picture of my husband, have you ;)


oops sorry Shawn :D

When you go take some piccies for us! Would love to see more of that little darling.

[Killearn Kitties]

A saw the new baby rhino today! :D Oh what a cutie! She is in the enclosure still, so difficult to get good pictures, but I will have a look and see if I got any decent ones.

[Edwina's Secretary]

What a doll! And how lucky you are to have had a visit with her Karen!

I have fallen in love with a rhino painting I saw recently at the Getty Museum...

You're so lucky that you got to see the little darling! I imagine he's had lots of visiters :D

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Bad picces will be better than no piccies at all

What a beautiful baby!

[Killearn Kitties]

Little Mazumba is an absolute sweety! She is still in the enclosure with her mum, and it is difficult to get a photo between all the obstacles, but these are the best of them. They are also taken through glass.

First glimpse - look at those ears! :D

Looks like Eddie's relatives!

[Killearn Kitties]

I heeded the warnings though, and didn't get out the car to give bellyrubs!

That must have been difficult, all those bellies just begging to be rubbed ;)

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Awwwww Karen, those pics are so sweet!!!
My favorite pic though is this giraffe, brings back memories from our trip to South Africa (Kruger NP)

I also must say the wish to give belly rubs would have been great ;)

And baby Rhino is way too cute :)
