On July 11, the black rhino baby ushered in its 100th day of birth in Changlong, Qingyuan, Guangdong, and it was also the first to meet with tourists.
This baby black rhino is the second generation of its mother, "Niuniu" after 15 months of pregnancy.
Due to the hunting of rhino horns and the reduction of habitats, the total number of black rhinos listed as extremely rare and endangered species in the world has dropped sharply in the past 40 years, and is included in the "World Conservation Union" (IUCN) 2012 Red List of Endangered Species. Extremely dangerous" level.
According to conservation experts, due to the lack of breast milk from the first-born rhino mothers, in order to prevent the baby rhinos from starving, the nurses “borrow milk” from the goat mothers in compliance with relevant animal health and safety management rules.
Every day the childcare worker milks goats to feed the baby rhinoceros to supplement the nutrients it needs for growth.
