Its a Christmas miracle!
A beautiful, healthy, rare Sumatran rhinoceros was born, just in time for the holidays.
The Minister admitted to being grateful for the fifth birth at the SRS.
Two years ago there was only one captive Sumatran rhino pair in the world able to successfully produce offspring.
Now there are three pairs six rhinos who are proven breeders.
Those are much better odds for the long-term survival of this species.
The goal of the breeding program at the SRS is to reportedly supplement the declining wild population.
Its an incredible event that gives hope to the future of this critically endangered species.
Moreover, the gorgeous animals are threatened due to poaching and climate change.
