Baby rhino is too cute acting like a puppy finding its feet

Video shows a cute baby rhino capturing the hearts of tourists on safari at Kruger National Park in South Africa.

A cute baby rhino captured the hearts of tourists on safari at Kruger National Park in South Africa recently when it ran toward the safari vehicle and away from its mother, who was pretty nonchalant about the encounter.

Latestsightings.com described it as “a heart-melting moment, and was almost like watching a new puppy find its feet.”

Darren Sheer, on safari with his family, captured the adorable moment in video shared with Kruger Sightings.

Sheer described the encounter to Latestsightings.com:

“While on a game drive the ranger saw a mom and baby rhino in the distance. The ranger stopped the safari vehicle on the gravel road quite a distance from the two rhino and waited for the rhinos to come closer.

“The mom and baby were slowly walking down the gravel road, when all of a sudden the baby rhino got super excited and started running up and down – coming quite close to the safari vehicle and then running back to its mom.

Watch: Adorable baby rhino receives ‘love nudge’ from mom

The baby rhino at the Cincinnati Zoo is gaining notoriety on social media for his bold antics while interacting with his mom.

The newest baby rhino at the Cincinnati Zoo is gaining notoriety on social media for his bold antics while interacting with his mom.

The first video accompanying this post shows the spunky and sometimes clumsy rhino, Ajani Joe, playfully squaring off with momma.

“Oh my gosh, is somebody videotaping this?” an astonished guest remarks.

An apt video description reads, “Charismatic and brave Ajani Joe practices sparring with his mom, Seyia.”

The second video clip reveals perhaps a more touching and amusing scene in which momma rhino sneaks up behind Ajani Joe and gently pokes him in the rump with her horn, prompting laughter from guests.

“Ajani gets a little love nudge from mom,” the description reads.

Both clips were widely viewed and shared, and provide evidence that baby rhinos, despite their clunky appearance, are among the cutest critters on the planet.

Ajani Joe, a black rhinoceros, was named by the winner of a drawing, Martha Wolf, who told WLWT5 that her father’s name is Joe and that Ajani, of African origin, translates to “he who wins the struggle.”
