The baby rhino's name was chosen by a supporter of SD Zoo Wildlife Alliance, in honor of a South African doctor who made a positive impact on the donor's life.
SAN DIEGO — Just in time for World Rhino Day on Thursday, the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance Tuesday announced a six-week-old male southern white rhino calf at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park has been given a name: Neville.
According to the zoo, the energetic and confident calf is thriving and has been experiencing many new firsts since his birth on Aug. 6, including meeting other rhinos, and gaining enough stamina and bulk to now explore the 2- acre main habitat at the Nikita Kahn Rhino Rescue Center. In addition to spending time with his mother, Livia, Neville was recently introduced to two of the other adult females residing at the Rhino Rescue Center: Victoria and Wallis. Under the watchful eyes of Livia, the calf often interacts with the two adults -- sometimes engaging in playful behavior, including head-butting, or just curiously watching their activities.
