Fatu and Mohammed, her head keeper

It’s happened – today we are thrilled to confirm 2 matings for our northern white rhinos.

The first mating was between Fatu and Suni (northern white on northern white). The second mating was Sudan – our oldest northern white male - with Aramiet (southern white female). To see the old boy has still “got it” is hugely encouraging and as we write this, he has his eye set on Taura, another one of the southern white female.

A year down the line from when the rhino arrived on December 19th, 2010, it was everybody’s hope that we could have all four animals settled, reintroduced and living as close to a wild existence as possible. All of this has been achieved and more.
