Third-Generation Rhino Calf Born in Manas National Park

Guwahati: A new rhino calf arrived at Assam's Manas National Park. The birth marks a third-generation milestone for a family lineage rooted in a flood-rescue mission. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma shared the news on Saturday, October 31.

Ganga-Ka, the mother, delivered the calf earlier last week. She is the daughter of Ganga, a rhino originally saved from the rising waters of the Brahmaputra floods. Ganga is now a grandmother. This cycle proves that protected environments pay off.

Sarma celebrated the event as a win for local wildlife efforts. As the Chief Minister noted, "The second generation of the rhino named Ganga, who was rescued in the Brahmaputra floods (Ganga-Ka), gave birth to an adorable calf a couple of days ago. The journey that began with Ganga has now crossed three generations in the lap of nature."

Manas National Park remains a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It stays focused on the safety of the one-horned rhinoceros. This birth shows progress. It proves that habitat protection works.
