A critically endangered Sumatran rhino has been born on Indonesia’s western island of Sumatra, the second born in the country this year and a welcome addition to a species that numbers fewer than 50 animals.

A female named Delilah gave birth to a 25kg male calf at a sanctuary for Sumatran rhinos in Way Kambas National Park in Lampung province, at the southern tip of Sumatra island.
