14 DAY TRIAL // Not too long ago, a baby rhino was born to a female living in captivity at Copenhagen Zoo in Denmark. The calf, featured in the photos accompanying this article, is perfectly healthy and quite active.
It is understood that, when it arrived into this world, the adorable baby rhino tipped the scale at an impressive 50 kilograms (about 110 pounds).
Still, it managed to find the strength to pull its body upwards and take a few clumsy steps just minutes after birth. Mind you, its mom kept a close eye on it at all times, just to make sure that no harm would come to it.
Keepers at Denmark's Copenhagen Zoo say that the baby rhino's mom feeds it several times a day. This means that, soon enough, the calf will surely get even bigger and stronger than it now is.
Like plenty of other species, rhinos are currently in danger of going extinct. This is because poachers keep hunting them for their horns and a large portion of their natural habitats has been destroyed over the years.
Conservationists estimate that, presently, just 30,000 rhinos are left in the wild. Just to put things into perspective, it must be said that, about a century ago, the world was home to some 500,000 rhinos.
