White rhino born at Africa Alive zoo in Suffolk for the first time
Mr Williamson said: "Njiri and her baby are doing well but she is a first-time mum and we are monitoring her closely.
"To replicate this natural behaviour, we set up a 'birthing suite' for Njiri away from the other rhinos which is monitored closely through CCTV cameras."The southern white rhinoceros's home in the wild are the grasslands and plains of southern Africa Claudia Roberts, chief executive of the Zoological Society of East Anglia, which runs the zoo, said it was a "very exciting step forward" in the conservation of the species.
The majority of the southern white rhinos are in just four countries: South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Kenya
