An endangered Indian Rhinoceros (also known as the greater one-horned Rhinoceros) was born Wednesday evening, July 13, at Tampa’s Lowry Park Zoo to second-time mother “Jamie,” in the rhino barn within the Zoo’s Asian Gardens exhibit area. The Indian Rhino birth is the second for the Zoo in two years, and a significant conservation milestone for the species with fewer than 60 animals in the managed population.
The Indian Rhino calf is not yet named, but the Zoo has launched a naming contest on its Facebook page for the online community to participate. A selection of Hindi names -- starting with the letter J in honor of mother Jamie -- are below (in alphabetical order).
Jahi (JA-hi)“dignified”
Jamil (JA-mil) “handsome”
Janmesh (JAN-mish) “king”
Jaskaran (JAS-ka-ran) “good deeds”
The male calf will receive the name with the most votes through Monday, August 1.
