Rhino Born From Artificial Insemination BUDAPEST, Hungary The world's first rhino conceived by artificial insemination has been born at Budapest Zoo, officials said in a statement on Wednesday. The female baby rhino, born at 5:55 p.m. on Tuesday, weighed in at 128 lbs. ''The little one seemed active and vital. An hour after being born it stood up on its own legs,'' the statement said. The baby rhino has yet to be named, said zoo spokesman Zoltan Hanga, who added the zoo hoped to find a sponsor for her. The mother, 26-year-old Lulu, had failed to conceive naturally, even when put with a male rhino named Easyboy. A group of international veterinarians from Germany, Austria and Hungary started in-vitro fertilization and she finally became pregnant in 2005. ''An in-vitro fertilization was necessary because the two rhinos had not shown any sexual interest in each other,'' the statement said. ''The two have rather developed a friendship, more of a relationship between siblings.'' http://www.happynews.com/news/1242007/rhin...nsemination.htm |

Baby rhinos must be one of the most precious of nature's babies. They really are too cute, IMO! Can't wait to see this little girl grow up. |
