“Future’s new favorite thing is mud.” A white rhino born at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park last month has been named ‘Future’ for what the calf represents to rhino conservation worldwide, officials say.
This Monday, Dec. 9, 2019 photo from the San Diego Zoo shows a 19-day old white rhino that has been named Future for what the baby represents to rhino conservation worldwide, at San Diego Zoo Safari Park in Escondido, Calif. The calf is bonding with her mother and frolicking in the maternity yard left wet by recent storms. "Future's new favorite thing is mud," zookeeper Marco Zeno said in a statement.

Future is the 100th southern white rhino to be born at the park and the second conceived through artificial insemination. The first, Edward, was born to a different mother in July. The zoo births using frozen sperm are part of efforts to develop knowledge needed to save a subspecies called the northern white rhino, officials said. Only two currently remain and both are female.Future was born Nov. 21 to an 11-year-old mother named Amani.Rhinos typically coat themselves with a thick layer of mud that helps act as a sunscreen and bug repellent, and helps to keep them cool.
”Future is not only exhibiting natural rhino behavior, she appears to be having a ton of fun doing it,” Zeno said.
