Ireland’s New Rhino Calf Born | Dublin News

A brand-new male Indian rhino calf, born July 13th at Fota Wildlife Park, is Ireland’s second-ever rhino and the park’s second. Weighing in at a hefty start, he’s the offspring of two 2-tonne parents, Maya and Jamil. The park’s inviting the public to name him — suggestions should reflect his Asian heritage and culture, with the winner earning a free year pass. This birth matters big time: the greater one-horned rhino is vulnerable, with only 4,000 left in the wild. It’s also part of Fota’s growing conservation legacy — home to Sumatran tiger cubs, Nubian giraffes, Asian lions, François’ langurs, European bison, and even Ireland’s first white-tailed sea eagle fledgling in a decade. Senior ranger Liam McConville called it a rare global triumph — and the only place in Ireland you can see these majestic beasts.
