As avid rhino-cam watchers we were proud to be watching when Paignton Zoo’s heavily pregnant Black rhino, Sita, gave birth to a baby girl rhino. The birth is part of an endangered species programme at the Zoo.

A dedicated team of rhino watchers kept a close eye on Sita, and on the webcam, during the run up to the birth.

Infra-red lights on the camera made sure that images were captured at crucial parts of the birth

With only around 4,000 black rhinos left in the wild this is an important step in the conservation of these magnificent creatures and shows how webcams can bring people closer to the animal kingdom of which we are part, and help conservation efforts locally as well as globally.
