AT just five months old Nomvula is growing by the day in size, weight and personality.
Jason Doherty, rhino team leader at Knowsley Safari said: "Nomvula is a bundle of energy and continues to run circles around patient mum Meru. Adult white rhinos can reach two tonnes in weight, so she still has a long way to go in terms of size and weight, but what she is lacking in size, she makes up for in personality!
"We have a large 100 acre space here for the 'crash' to grow that helps us thrive as one of the top breeders of endangered white rhino in Europe."
Knowsley Safari is part of a captive rhino breeding project managed in association with the European Endangered Species Programme.
