DUBLIN ZOO HAS INTRODUCED its latest arrival to the public.

The zoo’s new rhino calf, born last Friday, took his first steps alongside his mother Ashanti today.

The zoo recently campaigned for a name for its new female giraffe calf, which was born in November, but has not announced the winner yet.

The rhino calf will also be name via a public competition, with the winning entry receiving an annual family pass for the zoo.

  • My suggestion is “Prudence”
    It is a common name among female Africans. Synonyms for prudence include austerity, calculation, care, carefulness, circumspection, concern, conservation, conservatism, considerateness, coolness, deliberation, diligence, discretion, economy, foresight, forethought, frugality, heed, heedfulness, judgment, judiciousness, precaution, providence, reasoning, sagacity, tact, vigilance, watchfulness, wisdom
    In the light of the current rhino crisis, these synonyms are most apt.
