The largest zoo in the UK welcomed an adorable new addition when a new Southern white rhino calf was born before sunrise Aug. 21. Zookeepers were “delighted.”

After Southern white rhino mom Tuli’s 16-month pregnancy, staff at the Zoological Society of London’s Whipsnade Zoo monitored her stool, checking hormone levels as they were expecting a new baby within a couple of days.
