This is so wonderful, despite being rejected by his mother

There is a new resident at the Endangered Species Enclosure on Ol Pejeta.
A two-week-old southern white rhino calf has been rescued by the wildlife and veterinary teams, after being abandoned by his mother. The calf had a congenital problem, known as persistent urachus, which prompted his mother to leave him (a normal occurrence in wild mammals).
We never like having to take an orphaned wild animal into our care, although when you look at his face, it’s hard not to smile!
