IT'S a girl!
A white rhino baby is a new addition recently to the Singapore Zoo.
The sixth calf was born to mum Shova on July 2 weighing about 60 kg.
The gestation period of a white rhino is 16 months. Shova has now given birth to four males and two females.
Four of these calves have been exported to Zoos and Safari Parks in Australia, Indonesia and Thailand but this latest female will remain at the zoo.
She will go on show in a few weeks time.
The white rhino is the largest of the species. It can weigh up to 3,600 kg and reach a height of 1.85m.
It can be found in Africa but is threatened by poachers after its horns.
