David Cameron has praised a rhino named after his daughter for doing is best to propagate the species.
The prime minister was asked for help today by a Tory MP who worried the Isle of Wight Zoo was "having difficultly importing a tiger".

Over the noise of the Commons during prime minister's questions, Cameron insisted: "I do want to hear about the tiger."
He noted that he had run into a similar problem in his own constituency where he had intervened to help a zoo import a rhino.
The zoo, Cameron told MPs, "named the rhino Nancy in honour of my daughter. And Nancy has been breeding ever since she arrived."
He added: "I hope this tiger is also as effective."
