A baby white rhinoceros calf has been born at Dublin Zoo.
The male calf, who is yet to be named, was born to mother Ashanti and father Chaka on Thursday and weighs approximately 60 kilos.
The youngster joins the rest of the herd at the African Savanna area of the zoo.
The zoo says the birth marks a success for the European Endangered Species Programme.
It is estimated that 20,000 of these animals exist in the wild, the majority are found in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Kenya.
But they face a major threat from poachers who hunt them for rhino horn.
