Description
English: Today I finally got my first look at one of our newest zoo residents.... she peeked out the door and wiggled her prehensile lips at me and captured my heart.

Doppsee, is a 2550lb, 4 year old female Eastern Black Rhino who came to us from Wichita, Kansas. She arrived within a day of Jello, a 7 year old male from Miami. I have not seen him yet, they are just starting to transition out of quarantine, but I'm looking forward to seeing him soon.

Eastern Black Rhino's are critically endangered, so hopefully they will reproduce successfully when she matures in a couple of years. The future of the species is uncertain, and genetically compatible pairings like Doppsee and Jello play an important role in conservation efforts.

It's a good thing only humans put such store in names... because the species could die out before the animals got past the embarrassment of their silly names enough to get on with breeding :)
