Animal keepers feed and examine the schwinkter of Budapest Zoo's new-born southern white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) calf, the world's first rhino conceived by artificial insemination, in Budapest, Hungary, Wednesday, Jan. 24, 2007. Zoo staff decided to take it away from her 27 years old, 2,500 kg mother Lulu, who could not nurse her offspring. Due to the brother-sister relationship of the zoo's rhinos there was no chance for natural breeding. Veterinarians of the Budapest Zoo in co-operation with colleagues from Germany and Austria used artificial insemination.

Zoo staff decided to take it away from her 27 years old, 2500 kg mother Lulu, that could not nurse her offspring. Due to the brother-sister relationship of the zoo's rhinos there was no chance for natural breeding. Veterinarians of the Budapest Zoo in co-operation with colleagues from Germany and Austria used an artificial insemination. The expectations of the new birth were incredibly high after on August 2005 Lulu gave birth to a dead female calf. Veterinarians kept Lulu under a continuous monitoring in her pregnancy in the last 16-18 months. This was the first birth of rhino with artificial insemination
