July 2009. A baby white rhino, now named Obama, was born in Uganda in June at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. Obama's mother was donated by Disney Animal Kingdon, and his father was donated by Kenya.
White rhinos were reintroduced into Uganda some 25 years after being poached to extinction. Four southern white rhinos were released here in 2005, from Kenya. A year later two more arrived from Disney, and the 6 (now 7) roam a 70 square kilometre reserve that is heavily protected.
