Elephant Orphanage, Rhino Dept. I

Posted by Pied Crow (Nairobi, Kenya) on 4 October 2009 in Animal & Insect.

This black rhino was born premature and abandoned by his mom, now he is at the orphanage. Rhinos aren't sociable like elephants (especially black rhinos), so they are treated very differently by their keepers. Here they have just given him a mud massage and then put some red soil on top, a sort of rhino spa treatment that he seemed to enjoy a lot....
