Escondido, California - An almost 7-week-old greater one-horned rhino calf and her mother charged into their expansive Asian Savanna field exhibit together for the first time, earlier today (Aug. 8, 2018) at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. The female calf, named Carole, and her mother, Asha, emerged from a protected area called a boma, where they have been staying since the calf’s birth on June 22.

While the calf ran around exploring her new surroundings, a layer of young, pink skin was still visible underneath the folds of her thickening, armor-like, dark gray top layer of skin.
