[新聞] Help Name Tampa's Newest Arrival: An Endangered Rhino Calf!

本帖最後由 dxb 於 2011-7-21 09:26 AM 編輯



An endangered Indian Rhinoceros (also known as the greater one-horned Rhinoceros) was born Wednesday evening, July 13, at Tampa’s Lowry Park Zoo to second-time mother “Jamie,” in the rhino barn within the Zoo’s Asian Gardens exhibit area.  The Indian Rhino birth is the second for the Zoo in two years, and a significant conservation milestone for the species with fewer than 60 animals in the managed population.

The Indian Rhino calf is not yet named, but the Zoo has launched a naming contest on its Facebook page for the online community to participate.  A selection of Hindi  names -- starting with the letter J in honor of mother Jamie -- are  below (in alphabetical order).
  • Jahi (JA-hi)“dignified”
  • Jamil (JA-mil)  “handsome”
  • Janmesh (JAN-mish) “king”
  • Jaskaran (JAS-ka-ran) “good deeds”
The male calf will receive the name with the most votes through Monday, August 1.

When the Buying STOPS,
The Killing STOPS!!
印度犀牛比非洲犀牛要珍贵,不仅是因为独角犀牛的关系,而且,中医认为犀牛角可以起到壮阳的作用,而印度犀牛又是在亚洲生活,更早的被捕杀,来获取犀牛角粉,现在这个种群真是岌岌可危了

为了下一代着想,印度政府因加强保护犀牛运动。不要让我们的后代在书里才认识犀牛,这样可悲呀!!!
