Location Kenya Subject Distribution Species African Rhinos

The orphaned male calf larangoi was killed on 8 June 1999 in a fight with an adult male black rhino called Amuri. This incident occurred at 2 o'clock in the morning and there was nothing the two game guards with Larangoi could do to prevent it. Two new black rhinos have been born. The mother of one was a female introduced from Solio Ranch in 1995 called Ndito, who lives up in the Ngare Ndare forest. The other mother is Juniper, who was born on Lewa and is 11 years old. This is her second calf, after an interval of 3 years. Also 2 baby white rhino. One was the third calf born to Tumbuli, originally from South Africa. A surprise was in late July calf born to Jessima, the first of our second generation white rhinos to calve. She was only 5 years 3 months old.
