Here is another reason for me to go to Werribee Zoo asap!

She already weighs more than me

Gorgeous photo of a baby rhino, I wonder what they will name her?
I hope she can be reared successfully as poor Sisi losing 3 previous calves is very sad news indeed.

The rest of the article on poaching it tragic though

ps. GR you weigh less than 69 kilos you need more sauce on your pasta

I know it's not an attractive outcome for me to be soooo skinny! But I have long joked good naturedly that I should have been born a woman; if so I'd be a smoking hot super model

And I would make 'onesies' famous the world over

Gregoryette the Onesie Model. And imagine the commotion I would cause when I step onto that catwalk - unbeknownst to me - wearing a onesie suit that has been reduced to a single button! Camera's would be snapping with crocodile fury and Leo would become famous for his button fetish

and Gregoryette

More pasta with sauce and some good old healthy protein and carbs needed (did I mention the odd tasty biscuit too)?

Such a cutie lets hope all goes well for her, it is so important with all the poaching and decline of the Rhino. I love her name to, Victoria is a pretty name and I think Rhino have such beautiful faces.
Yes you do need to get to the zoo GR and see her for yourself and take lots of lovely piccies to post on here


Mmmmm I second more sauce on the pasta the image of Gregoryette has had me

Hmmm... Perhaps by next weekend I will be overdue another zoo visit.

Also with the Werribee thing it's just an evening visit in a months time (open til 8:30pm), but where I got confused is that they do advertise a slumber party that you can win for yourself and twenty or so friends. It's a special one off thingy/prize; not just something you can choose to do.

Aha - so all your WAA friends can join you G R

Still think the evening visit will be a totally fun thing to do

Lai

"That's a looooooong way for us all to go if you win that Sumber Party !!!"

Let's hope that travel costs are included to get my friends to Werribee!!!

That zoo is probably just over an hour drive from where I live, but I feel like I will go there on one of these upcoming weekend days

Must remember to charge my camera batteries

Oh and remember my old phone too

It's a travesty, I'm going to lose my pinky! Which hand should I lose it from?

Doogs, I didn't even notice the sumber typo either

You should have just taken a leaf out of WS' magic list

A Sunday trip I am planning, so three more sleeps! And boy do I need to get to soon, as it's 12:44

Spent night at folkies and am watching some cycling just now

Sunday ..................... more photos and news please G R P

Lai

Oh yes indeedy

As mentioned elsewhere, unfortunately I didn't get to see the little cutie pie yesterday, but maybe in the future I will. It is expected to be about two months until it is out on display; the reasons for all of this is that the keepers are hand feeding it because the mother has lost her last three little ones. So that this one comes through to adulthood.

I will be going back there soon for sure, with wild nights (or evenings) starting in nineteen days time. I will probably go for an afternoon and then stay for the evening, as in the afternoon I can make it like a normal visit, then focus more on the servals (special show that is on) and marshmallows

I bet he is being kept under wraps until he is strong enough to be shown to the public and the wide world. Let's hope he is okay and survives.

Great news that the evening visits start soon GR and an even better idea to go in the afternoon and then stay on for the marshmallows, mmmm I mean evening visit

Lai

Sunday might be the best day for me to go as I have a grandparents anniversary celebration on July 6 (I think it's 60 or 70 years, either way ), and another Saturday I may have to work.

"Hopefully he will be big enough and strong enough to make himself known to the public in a few months time and you'll be there to see it all GR"

I might have to see how much baby rhino on display leave I have available

GR - you'll find a way
