What is a baby rhino called?

Rhinos are herbivorous mammals that live in Africa and Asia. Baby rhinos are called calves, and they are typically born after a gestation period of around 15-16 months. When they are born, baby rhinos are already quite large, weighing anywhere from 40 to 65 kilograms (90 to 145 pounds) at birth.

Calves are usually cared for by their mothers, who are very protective and attentive. They will nurse for several months before eventually transitioning to a diet of grasses, leaves, and other vegetation. Baby rhinos stay close to their mothers for the first few years of their lives, learning important survival skills and social behaviors from them.

Calves are susceptible to predation from large carnivores like lions and hyenas, so they rely on their mothers for protection. Unfortunately, rhinos are also threatened by poaching and habitat loss, which has caused many populations to decline in recent years. Conservation efforts are being made to protect these magnificent creatures and ensure a brighter future for baby rhinos and their families.
