NAKASONGOLA- Ugandans can now pay for an animal to be named after them, authorities have said.
The Ziwa Rhino and Wildlife Ranch confirmed the birth of a calf in Nakasongola, some 176 kilometers north of Kampala, bringing the number of the total rhino population to 33.
The calf was born last Thursday at the 70 square kilometre ranch, which is the sole home of rhinos in the country.
Eight days after the rhino was born, it was announced on social media that it had been christened Rae Ruparelia, after Rajiv Ruparelia, son of businessman Sudhir Ruparelia.
Ms Angie Genade, the executive director of the ranch, said the naming was neither because of the Ruparelia fame nor because the name rolls off the tongue so well.
