Fearless Baby Rhino Shows Off How Tough He Is And He Looks So Cute In Action
When you think of a rhinoceros, you would most likely not describe it as "cute" because, well, they are evidently different from the fluffy creatures we all fawn over, especially in a zoo. Rhinos are actually very gentle animals and mostly keep to themselves, except when they feel threatened; then they change their body position into an attack stance.
Fun fact about them: they actually communicate through their dung and urine. When they leave their waste in the same place as other rhinos, they can then smell the urine and dung of other animals in the area.
They also growl and make 'trumpet calls,' especially when confronted by another creature. They may look scary and intimidating at first glance, but you'll be surprised at how versatile their personalities really are.
Rhinos can be calm and stubborn, curious and belligerent most of the time. They don't actually use their horns for defense—they use their teeth instead!
They usually perceive humans as a threat, but a particular rhino that you're about to see will prove this popular belief wrong. A heartwarming moment of a little baby rhino showing off its fearless attitude to a group of tourists was caught on video, and we're all melting from the cuteness overload!
This tiny little rhino wanted to show off to a group of tourists how fearless and tough he is by heading towards them in a galloping manner.
The cute creature melted everyone's hearts when he began to show off after seeing a group of tourists admiring him from a safe distance.
The tourists were in a safari vehicle when they happened to come across a mother rhino and her calf, admiring them from a safe distance.
The little rhino, however, wanted to prove how tough he is by running towards the group. Given his size, he looked more like a new puppy finding its feet.
When he was just a few feet away from the vehicle full of tourists, he retracted and returned to his mother to check on what she was doing. Thankfully, the moment was caught on camera for people all over the world to see!
Darren, one of the tourists who was on board the safari vehicle, said:
“I was with my family, and the baby rhino was with his family. It reminded us to cherish the special moments in our own family. They’re just moments that you won’t forget.”
It's not every day that you get to see a baby rhino showing off like this, especially since they are usually quite scared of humans and tend to be vulnerable in their presence.

Did you know that the world actually celebrates World Rhino Day every September 22nd? This was established as a way to raise awareness about the threats that these magnificent creatures face in the wild and in captivity.
They are also the second-largest animals in the world, just after elephants. While they may be intimidating to see, they are actually gentle giants and can be docile most of the time.
