It's an exciting time at Busch Gardens as they welcomed a little one and now they need help naming the baby rhino.
Whether you're a fan of thrill rides, animals or food festivals, there's a little bit of everything at Busch Gardens. I'm not much of a coaster girl, but I love going to the park to see all the animals. And the babies are always my favorite. And just recently did Busch Gardens welcome a baby rhino.
Busch Gardens Needs Help Naming Baby Rhino
In the coming days on the Serengeti Plain at Busch Gardens, you'll be seeing a brand new baby rhino alongside her mother Kisiri joining many other animals like zebras, ostriches, giraffes and antelopes. The baby is a Southern white rhino that already weighs 100 pounds. The species is native to eastern and southern Africa.
Busch Gardens has yet to name the rhino calf and wants the public to help. There's an online poll set up for voting and there are 3 Swahili names to choose from: Azizi ("precious treasure"), Zahara ("flower") and Zina ("secret” or “beautiful”).
The poll is open through September 28 and you can cast your vote here
One way to get up even closer and more personal to these amazing animals is with a safari on the Serengeti Plain. The guided tour is 30 minutes in which you'll trek across 65 acres in an open-air vehicle offering some great photo ops and you'll even get to hand-feed giraffes! Prices start at $39.99 and you can find more info and book a time here
There are many other animal encounters too. The Penguin Insider Tour gives you the opportunity to go behind the scenes and meet penguins. The Adalabra Insider Tour gets you up-closewith one of the largest tortoises in the world. There is sloth encounter as well were you can feed and interact with a sloth.
