Inge [from Addo NP] and another female black rhino were brought to the USA in 1997. Luyisa went to the Kansas City Zoo; Inge, thanks to funding from the Cleveland Zoological Society, arrived at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo and was slowly introduced to the zoo's male rhino, Spike.
Finally, at 5.57 pm on August 31, 2000, Inge delivered a bouncing baby girl. Local schools raised money for rhino conservation and competed for the right to name the baby. The 'Name the Rhino' contest winner, St Anthony School in Parma, Ohio, chose the name Azizi, which means 'precious'.
