Safari West in Santa Rosa welcomed a new baby southern white rhino on Sunday.
The calf was born to mother Eesha and father, Ongava .
Since the beginning of the year, the Oakland zoo has been closed roughly 50 days, costing more than $2.5 million in lost revenue, officials said. "This is a momentous event for us as the calf is the first of its species to be born at Safari West," the park said. "Needless to say, it is a big deal to Eesha as well! She immediately showed signs of good mothering instincts and has been very attentive to her calf."
