>On July 22, 2025, the world lost an iconic American rockstar named Ozzy. On this same day, the world gained a white rhino named… Ozzy! The Safari West wildlife preserve in Santa Rosa, California named the newborn calf after the late singer, whose death had only been announced a few hours before the rhino’s birth.

Wildlife staff say the name not only honors Ozzy Osbourne but also represents the continuity of life.
