One Horn Baby Rhino Needs a Name

Since Arun and Aarati was a gift from Nepal - I would recommend a Nepali river name. Aarati died and they brought another female. Arun is getting old but rhinos are known to live up to 45-50 in captivity i.e. in zoos.

I would say "BAGMATI" would suit her.

They should mention one-horns are endemic to Nepal and India and thanks to corrupt govt. and burgeoning human population, they are declining rapidly. But thanks to massive conservation efforts by WWF and others, the declining process is slowed a bit.
