A farm in Wales is celebrating the birth of another critically endangered eastern black rhino calf.

After a 15-month long pregnancy mum Dakima gave birth to her second calf at Folly Farm in Pembrokeshire.

With only an estimated 39 eastern black rhinos born in the UK in the past 25 years, conservationists are hailing it as a significant achievement.

Eastern black rhinos are classed as critically endangered due to poaching and loss of habitat with an estimate of only 1471 left in the wild and a further 109 in zoos around Europe.
