On Saturday morning, May 3, from noon until 3, a baby Indian rhino named Clover will be celebrated with a "shower" including ice cream and cake.

Clover was born March 1, to Tashi and Henry and belongs to the largest of the Asian rhino species. These rhinos, which numbered less than 200 in the early 20th century, are now 2,500 strong.

Tashi is reported to be a very good mother to her baby, who weighed in at 135 pounds at birth. Clover, a good eater, will receive her very own cake at approximately 12:30 tomorrow, and visitors will be treated to cake at 1, during a question and answer period.

All treats, games and drawings are free with a paid zoo admission. More information can be found at www.buffalozoo.org.
