By: KDKA-TV News Staff

CUMBERLAND, Oh. (KDKA) -- A baby rhino calf was born last week at The Wilds in Ohio.

The safari park announced the birth of the calf on Monday, saying that greater one-horned rhino calves usually weight more than 100 pounds when they are born and gain a few pounds every day.

The mother, Sanya, is caring for the female calf, according to The Wilds.

The facility calls this a 'significant achievement,' saying that the species nearly went extinct during the 20th century.

The Wilds says that the new baby rhino calf can be seen during an Open-Air Safari Tour or a Wildside Tour.
