Scale day for Sabi 🦏 This mom-to-be currently weighs ~1734kgs.

Sabi, a 14-year-old white rhino, is expecting her first calf any day now. Taking her weight before the birth of her calf and frequent post-baby weights ensure she receives adequate nutrition while nursing. Special treats await her on the other side of the scale as a reward for being so patient while a final weight is recorded.

This voluntary scale session is just one of the many ways the Wildlife Care and Wildlife Health team care for white rhinos Sabi, Tom, and Zohari and is an important part of cooperative care to track their overall health and growth.
