{image_1}A baby rhino was born in Ramat Gan Safari Park and was a big draw for
Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) visitors. With less than 12,000 white

rhino is born in captivity. There are 450 rhinos in zoo parks around
the world today. This endangered species, hunted almost to extinction
for its horns, is the largest land animal after the elephant.
