Energetic baby rhino begs mom to play with him
Akeno the greater onehorned rhino calf from Chester Zoo is just a barrel of energy. He runs around with those cute little wiggly ears headbutting his mom every so often. When mom decided to lie down, Akeno bumps in to her leg, then walks around her and jumps on her back While on top of her he gives her little nudges, one after another. When that is not working he gets off her back and nudges her in the butt and runs off. After a few more nudges in his mother s face and another run around, his mom finally gets up again. Also known as the greater onehorned rhinoceros and great Indian rhinoceros, the baby was born at the Chester Zoo, Cheshire England at around 6pm on the 3rd of May 2018. It is a male and they named him Akeno, meaning beautiful sunrise. Asha, his 11yearold mom, had a 16 month pregnancy and only a 20minute labor. The dad, Beni, is separated from these two, presumably for safety reasons. Source embed code: For licensing, please email
