Ireland’s First Indian Rhino Calf Born | Cork News

Fota Wildlife Park just welcomed Ireland’s second-ever Indian rhino calf, born July 13th — a conservation milestone for the vulnerable species and the park’s ongoing breeding success. This little rhino joins a legacy of wins including Sumatran tigers, giraffes, lions, and even Ireland’s first white-tailed sea eagle fledgling in a decade. Born to parents Maya (from Rotterdam) and Jamil (from UK), both 13 and weighing two tons each, the calf is thriving under mom’s watchful eye, already rolling in mud and nibbling leaves. Fota’s inviting the public to help name him with India/Nepal-inspired suggestions by September 13th — a fun way to celebrate this rare birth and rally support for global rhino conservation.
