SAY HELLO TO BABY RHINO BALI
Weighing in at a whopping 76kg (almost 12 stone), keepers have named the calf Bali, Nepali for ‘strong’. Native to India and Nepal, there are thought to be less than 3,000 greater one-horned rhinos left in the wild, due to illegal poaching and a decline in quality of habitat. Visitors can see baby Bali at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo.

MEET OUR BABY RED PANDA TWINS 
The first pictures have been released of twin red pandas, born at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo. The baby red pandas have been named by keepers Bert and Ernie after the Sesame Street characters. They have been hiding away in their nesting boxes until recently their mum, six year-old Tashi began carrying them outside for short intervals.
