The birth of a rare black rhino at Paignton Zoo has really captured the imagination of animal-lovers all over the world. Thousands of people watched as Sita gave birth to a female calf on Monday 5 March. The amazing scenes were captured on webcam and shown on the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Devon website. Sita watchers had been logging on for weeks, anxious to catch the big moment.
