They all hope that the rhino girl Winnie will be a meaningful gift, bringing confidence and optimism to everyone during this difficult pandemic time. Thus, Winnie became the 27th member of the rhino herd, and the 4th individual born in Vietnam during the past 10 years.

According to vets and caretakers at Vinpearl Safari, the birth rate of African white rhinos is often very low in conservation parks, due to potential risks during pregnancy. Meanwhile, the environment and care are also required at a very high level for smooth pregnancy and labor process. For pairing and mating of rhinos, experts are required to have exceptional technique and ability to support for the animals mentally.

The healthy birth of Winnie proves a suitable living environment for rhinos to grow and maintain their instincts at Vinpearl Safari.
