Kufara was born on 17 February 2010 at Taronga Western Plains Zoo to first-time mother Bakhita and was the first second-generation rhino to be born there.
Taronga Western Plains Zoo is recognised internationally for its Black Rhino breeding program and the research conducted here on site which has produced the world’s first Black Rhino embryo in 2008.
The Black Rhinoceros is classified as critically endangered with only 4230 left in the wild. Poaching is the single largest threat to its on-going survival in the wild.
