We were all surprised when Tapiwa on Bemthree had another calf during May 2000. She is only nine years old and had Tafarai, her first calf in May 1998, just two years previously. We are pretty sure that the father ia again Tangarira, who although 32 years old, successfully fought off a male black rhino who was trying to muscle in on his territory. The family of four are all well and tafarai stays within the family group along with the new calf. Sex of new calf unknown, but the proposed name ?Tatende' means ?thank you' in Shona.
