"This news must be happy news, not only for the people of Indonesia but also for the world. I give my highest appreciation to all parties involved in the birth of this Sumatran rhino," he said.
The newborn calf, whose name is not yet known, and its mother are in good health, thanks to the care provided by the International Rhino Foundation and the Rhino Foundation of Indonesia.
This is the third successful birth for the 23-year-old and 22-year-old rhino pair, following the birth of Andatu in 2012 and Delilah in 2016.
