Updates from Victoria's Rhino Care Team:

Can you believe it's been a month since Edward was born? While a baby rhino is exciting under any circumstance, this one is extra special, and we're completely smitten with the little guy! It's been amazing to watch Edward grow—every day, he's just a little different.

Edward is having lots of "firsts." Last week he enjoyed his first mud wallow, and this week he went out into the main yard for the first time. As soon as we opened the gate between the yards, Victoria took off at full speed, and Edward was galloping right by her side!

Edward hadn't been out of the maternity areas and into the main yard yet because we wanted him to get a little bigger (and coordinated enough!) to keep up with Victoria. And he is—since he was born, he's gained more than 120 pounds! He had no trouble keeping pace with his mom for almost 30 minutes while they ran and ran. Sometimes, all four of his giant feet would be off the ground! After their gleeful romp, they plopped down in a mud wallow to cool off.
