Meet our newest polar bear cub and arctic ambassador on International Polar Bear Day, this Saturday February 27th! Born November 11, 2015, our female polar bear cub has been hand-raised by Zoo staff since birth, within the Wildlife Health Centre and the polar bear house. She has spent the last few weeks exploring and adjusting to her new outdoor habitat in the polar bear maternity area of the Tundra Trek. You will soon be able to meet her daily starting on February 27, weather permitting. Note that she will occasionally not be visible to the public for short periods of time for feedings and vet checks.

Toronto Zoo Welcomes Indian Rhino Calf!

WATCH Ashakiran and her newborn calf here: #TORhinoBaby

Photos from The Toronto Zoo's post

We're ecstatic to announce that Ashakiran, our 11 year old Indian rhinoceros, gave birth to a male calf on Wednesday at 9:42pm. A rhinoceros' gestation period lasts 425-496 days (approximately 16 months) and this is the first surviving calf for Ashakiran and Vishnu, our 12 year old male rhino. As of mid-January, Ashakiran, affectionately known as "Asha", was moved from public viewing to a maternity area where she was monitored closely. While the calf appears healthy and feeding well, the first 30 days will be critical for both mom and calf and Zoo staff will continue to closely monitor them both. Please note that they are not visible to the public at this time. Indian rhinos are listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN with approximately only 2,000 left in the wild. The Toronto Zoo is part of the Species Survival Plan (SSP) for this species and aims to establish and maintain a healthy, genetically diverse populations, and supports conservation efforts in the wild through the Toronto Zoo Endangered Species Reserve Fund.
