CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) - The Cincinnati Zoo's first Sumatran rhino calf has produced the first Sumatran rhino pregnancy in Southeast Asia for the global captive breeding program.

Andalas and his mate, Ratu, both 8-years-old, were brought together through international goodwill and cooperation in an effort to save this critically endangered species. Now, scientists at the Cincinnati Zoo are joining conservationists around the globe, celebrating the rare pregnancy.

In 2001, Andalas became the first Sumatran rhino born in captivity in 112 years. Six years later, he journeyed across the world, more than 10,000 miles and 63 hours by plane, truck and ferry, with a very important mission: to breed successfully with the female rhinos at the Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary in the Way Kambas National Park in Indonesia.

Ratu, a native Indonesian, wandered into a village just outside the Way Kambas Park and was brought to the Sanctuary to keep her safe. The pair have been getting to know one another through sight, sound, smell and other ways in which only rhinos can ascertain, ever since. And now, Andalas and Ratu are expecting a large 75 pound calf in May 2011.

The two rhinos will remain at the 250-acre complex built and supported by the International Rhino Foundation (IRF). The sanctuary houses five rhinos that are part of an intensively managed research and breeding program aimed at contributing to the conservation of the species in the wild.

"The Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary has been encouraged by Cincinnati Zoo's success," said Widodo Ramono, executive director of the Indonesian Rhino Foundation. "Our staff has diligently applied the Cincinnati Zoo's methodology, especially ultra-sonographic techniques, to achieve this result."

The Cincinnati Zoo is the only place in the world to successfully breed this critically endangered species in captivity.

"Sumatran rhinos are very solitary by nature and very aggressive towards one another except when a female is in estrus," said Dr. Terri Roth, Director of Cincinnati Zoo's Center for Conservation and Research of Endangered Wildlife (CREW) and vice president for IRF's Asia programs. "Through science we can determine when the female is ready to ovulate so that she is paired with a male at the right time and fighting is minimized while the likelihood of conception is optimized. It is wonderful to see the science developed at CREW help our Indonesian colleagues achieve success in the forest of Sumatra."

Report: Joslyn James Was Pregnant Twice by Tiger Woods

Posted on February 15, 2010

Over a dozen women are claiming to have had an affair with Tiger Woods, but adult film star Josyln James is claiming that she was pregnant with Woods' child -- twice!

Using protection "was never talked about," James said in a recent interview. Sex with Tiger, she says, "was never protected."

James, 32, and Woods carried on an alleged affair from 2006 to 2009. She now claims that she miscarried with her first pregnancy around the same time Woods' wife Elin Nordegren gave birth to daughter Sam Alexis on June 18, 2007.

She then says a second pregnancy happened in February of last year, which she claims to have aborted. Woods was unaware of the pregnancies.

"I just didn't want to ruin anything," said James.

She confesses that she was in love with Woods, and because of what he said to her and the length of time they spent together, she believed he loved her too.

The golf star and his wife have been reportedly living apart since he left sex rehab and returned to Orlando.

Nordegren was photographed while out with friends Saturday night and reportedly told Woods that he wasn't welcome to join her at her friend's birthday party.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15 (UPI) -- Former adult-film star Joslyn James says married U.S. pro golfer Tiger Woods got her pregnant twice during their alleged three-year affair.

James told TV's "Inside Edition" one pregnancy ended in miscarriage and the second in an abortion. She said she was involved with Woods from 2006 to 2009.

Woods, a father of two who is rumored to have had extramarital affairs with numerous women, has publicly apologized to his wife, Elin, and his fans for his infidelity. He has been keeping a low profile in recent months and reportedly underwent treatment for sex addiction at a rehab facility.

James said her first pregnancy by Woods happened when Elin was pregnant with Woods's daughter, Sam.

Asked if Woods demanded unprotected sex, James told "Inside Edition": "It was never talked about. It was never protected."

She went on to say she had planned to tell Woods about the first pregnancy, but miscarried before she had the chance. She said she didn't tell Woods about the second pregnancy, which she aborted, because she was afraid.

"Elin was pregnant with (their son) Charlie at that time. I just didn't want to ruin anything," she said.

James added not only did she not want to ruin her relationship with Woods, but she didn't want to break up his marriage.

"I feel bad for (Elin.) She didn't deserve this and she didn't deserve being humiliated," James said.
