Thanks NK Zoomie!!!

This may be a mother rhino with a yearling and a two year old

calves. Adult female white rhinoceroses bear their first calf when they are six or seven years old, after a gestation period of approximately 16 months. A single calf is born about every two to four years. Males reach sexual maturity between ten and twelve years of age. White rhino calves are able to follow their mothers a mere three days after birth, and are often seen running in front of them. The calves are weaned at about one year of age although they may nibble on grasses from the age of three months.
