Giving Tuesday is one week from today, and one of the charities on the Cutetropolis Giving Tuesday list will be Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, the Nairobi-based haven for orphaned elephants, rhinos, and so many more animals who need care from sunup until sundown.
Rhinos
Baby Steps
Standing for the first time on unsteady legs, a new baby begins its life. In these scenes from The Secret Life of the Zoo, a baby giraffe, zebra, elephant and others take those important first steps.
Rhino? More Like SHYno
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.
