WATCH: Zoo hosts gender reveal party for endangered Indian rhino
A zoo in Kansas recently welcomed a new addition, an endangered Indian rhino calf.
The Indian rhino calf was the first ever natural rhino birth with a mom born from artificial insemination.
As big of a deal as its birth was, Tanganyika Wildlife Park Director Matt Fouts said Friday was another big day for Monica: Marjon’s gender reveal party.

“Monica is going to do the reveal for us. We’ve got a box in her enclosure. And so the hope is, she’s going to come up to the box and start shaking it, and then we’ll get the reveal of whether it’s a boy or a girl,” .
After stopping for a quick snack, Monica slowly walked up to the curious box that her caretakers put in the middle of her pen.
And, of course, Marjon had to see what was going on.
After just a little bit of struggle, Monica pulled out a big piece of blue paper.
The proud mom looked straight at the small crowd while standing next to Marjon, almost as if she knows exactly what was going on.
While Marjon continues to nurse and explore his little indoor home, it won’t be long before he learns there’s a whole world outside waiting for him.
Fouts said when that happens, you won’t want to miss it.
The park opens for the year on Saturday, March 11.
