Arnhem, Netherlands, Oct 28 – A Dutch zoo said it received a pre-Halloween treat in the form of a square-lipped male rhinoceros born on Tuesday.

The mother and baby are in good health and the calf has been named “Stark” in honor of one of her fellow human beings who will retire, said Marilyn Jessen of the Royal Burger Zoo in Arnhem.

“I think it’s a great treatment, of course,” Jessen said. “I don’t know if there are a lot of kids running around in unicorns but maybe there will be now.”

Burgers Zoo is one of Europe’s most successful breeding rhinos, an endangered species, having produced 14 species in total since 1977.

Jessen said the zoo has no secret recipe.

“We have two animals right now that are fertile and can procreate,” Jessine said, noting that Stark’s mother, Kwanzaa, gave birth to seven calves.

“Maybe it’s a little luck.”
