Repost from drmarkatdisney - Oh boy, do I have a special surprise to share with you all today. Early this morning, our beloved white rhinoceros, Kendi, gave birth to a beautiful baby boy at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Mom and calf are doing great – baby was standing up within just a few minutes, and took right to nursing. The two will spend the next several weeks bonding together backstage under the watchful eyes of our animal care team Cast Members.
