An eastern black rhinoceros ("Diceros bicornis michaeli").

This animal is regarded as one of the world's rarest mammals. The newborn is a female calf whose mother is named "Zuri."

The gestation period for these animals is 15 months.

Black rhinos (Diceros bicornis) in Africa once used to number in the tens of thousands, and yet today, there are only around 6,500 individuals left in the wild.

The usual culprits of poaching and habitat loss mean that this species is critically endangered.
