Baby Boy Black Rhino Needs A Name At The Little Rock Zoo

I knew when the big announcement came in about the new baby that one day in the not too distant future, the Little Rock Zoo would most likely have a naming contest for the little guy. Guess what? It's time to name a Baby Black Rhino and you get to do it.

Not Long Ago, In A Land Not So Far Away

Remember back in November we made the announcement that Andazi and Johari were the proud parents of a baby eastern black rhinoceros calf. We now know that baby was a boy, and at birth, he was somewhere between 50 and 100 pounds.

New Baby Black Rhino - Little Rock Zoo

The mother is Andazi, a 15-year-old rhino and a resident of the Little Rock Zoo since 2010. The father is 26-year-old Johari, living at the Zoo since he was three.

He needs a name - Little Rock Zoo

What Are The Choices?

Glad you asked:

Kevin - He would be named for an English Cricket player who has turned into a conservationist for Rhinos. Very well known in the Rhino saving world.
Hatari - Means "Danger" in Swahili.
Enzi - Means "Powerful" in Swahili.
Thunder - His mother, Andazi, enjoys being outside during thunderstorms, it was also storming the night he was born.
Clint - As in, "Clint Black Rhino".

Those are your choices, now go vote, the voting is over Monday, January 17 at 5 PM.

Some Alligators In Arkansas You Can Touch - Most You Can't

If you're looking for a great day trip for the whole family may I recommend a fun outing at the Alligator Farm & Petting Zoo in Hot Springs, Arkansas? My wife has been visiting this fun attraction since she was a little girl, we manage to get around to seeing it every couple of years or so and for the most part, it stays pretty much the same, but it's always fun to pet a baby gater.

What Makes This House in Texas Unique? It's Totally Underground!

This is one of the craziest houses ever because it's totally underground.

The house is located in Buffalo, Texas. The house is $3,000 Square feet and sits on or should we say under almost 40 acres. It has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths and no windows! But the owners got creative bringing the outdoors inside. Check out the murals in the house. Painted trees, blue skies plus a room that has a beach scene mural. Why would you need windows?
