LANSING, Mich. - A black rhino at the Potter Park Zoo in Lansing is expecting a baby. The black rhino is a critically endangered species. She has been part of the Species Survival Plan, which helps endangered animals in zoos and aquariums survive. Michigan State University veterinary students are working with zoo staff to monitor the pregnancy and plan for the baby's delivery. Rhino pregnancies aren't always visually evident, so it took several ultrasounds to confirm that she was pregnant.
