King Charles and Queen Camilla revealed the name of the baby rhino during a visit to Colchester. The calf’s name is Dara.
A spokesman for Colchester Zoo said, “This was also the perfect opportunity for the Zoo to celebrate a special moment in their 60th anniversary year, with Their Majesties revealing the name of their newest Rhino calf, Dara. 2023 marks Colchester Zoo’s 60th anniversary, and the year began with the announcement of the birth of a healthy female Southern White rhino calf born on 13th January 2023. Since the birth, the rhino has been thriving with devoted mum Astrid.”
