Otto was born to proud parents, Eesha and Ongava on April 2nd, 2023. Named in honor of Peter Lang’s father, Otto, our young rhinoceros holds a special place in the hearts of Safari West’s founders, Peter and Nancy. He is the perfect symbol to highlight Safari West’s enduring commitment to wildlife conservation, a cornerstone of our mission for over three decades.<\/p>\n

Otto started his life at about 100 pounds, and at one year old he is over 1000 pounds. Our animal staff reported that there was a period of his first year when he was gaining five pounds a day! Otto’s main horn, a tiny bump at birth, is now prominently poking up above his mouth at 5 inches in length.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
