ABQ BioPark zoo welcomes baby rhino

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - The BioPark Zoo welcomed its newest addition when a baby white rhino was born on October 30th.

He was born at the White Oak Conservation Center in Florida. His mama rejected him and he was fathered by a rhino in Albuquerque, so the zoo got him.

He weighed 132 pounds at birth and is now up to 170 pounds.

The zoo needs your help naming him. A contest will begin on Monday on the BioPark's Facebook page.
