Birth facts issued by Paignton Zoo
- Sita's keepers expect the birth to happen during the night
- Generally rhinos give birth standing up
- Sita is showing physical signs of being ready to give birth
- The zoo hopes to let nature take its course
- Keepers won't intervene unless they have to
- There is no due day
(Hopefully one day all (human) women will get this level of understanding whilst they are in labour!!)
