A white rhinoceros calf named Silverio was born at Santiago’s Buin Zoo in Chile, marking a significant success for the near-endangered species. The zoo celebrated the birth as a victory against the threats of poaching and habitat loss that white rhinos face in South Africa. The birth has delighted visitors and is seen as a boost for the species' conservation efforts. Additionally, IVF help from zoo cousins is aiding wild rhinos.
