So far, the baby rhino has no name. Zoo staff said that the status of both rhinos and mothers are stable and will be monitored closely.

"This (health check) will be done when employees realize that they can separate newborn rhinos from close monitoring of the mother rhino. The health check-up can take place in minutes, "said the zoo representative.

Successful artificial insemination opens up the opportunity to conserve rare and precious animals that are often poached for horns.
