This adorable African white rhino bounced into the world on December 28, 2007.
The hefty looking fella enjoyed posing for the camera, as he lounged around in the barn with his proud mum, Nowana looking on.
The youngster, who is yet to be named, is Nowana's third calf and although only a month old, he already weighs between 45-50kg and was born after a 500 day gestation period.
Team leader on the African section, Cliff Tack said: "This is a very important birth for the European breeding programme and is good news for Whipsnade as it continues the long running success we have had with breeding this species.
"We are thrilled to welcome this new addition to the herd."
