You wouldn’t think an animal that could knock over a bus could be timid, but Ike, a baby rhino at Chester Zoo, is surprisingly shy. In this excerpt from The Secret Life of the Zoo, Ike’s caretakers must lure the “scaredy cat” away from his mama’s side.
Ike is so tiny next to his mom!
Oh, Ike. So sweet. I’d love to give him scritches.
Yes and to mom too. I love rhinos.
Baby rhinos are definitely cute! And his avoidance of the unknown things would serve him well in the wild.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a rhino mouth from the front…reminded me of a tapir.
