Colorado Springs, Colo.- The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo welcomed its newest member to the Rhino family.

Jumbe is a 9-year-old black rhino. He arrived at the zoo Sunday night on the back of a truck, in a crate made just for him.

Employees said, they're excited for Jumbe and for guests to catch a glimpse of him.

You can do that at this year's Electric Safari.

Jumbe weighs 2,658 pounds. He's about 5' tall.

The rhino usually spends his time eating willow branches and hay, not to mention napping in the dirt.
