A highly endangered Sumatran rhinoceros gave birth to a calf June 23 in western Indonesia, a forestry official said. It is only the fifth known birth in captivity for the species in 123 years. The mother, Ratu, delivered the male calf after a nearly 16-month pregnancy at Way Kambas National Park in Lampung province, said Novianto Bambang, director of biodiversity conservation at the Forestry Ministry. "This is a historic birth because Sumatran rhinos are on the brink of extinction," Bambang said. He said both mother and calf are doing well. (AP)
