Chitwan: The Chitwan National Park (CNP) is pre­paring to send a male rhino calf to China.

According to Man Bahadur Khadka, director of the Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation, a team of wildlife experts including veterinarians from China and Nepal examined the rhino calf and verified it to be healthy for the journey.
