If you spend most of your time online scrolling through adorable animals’ videos to brighten up your day, you know how cute dogs, cats or pandas’ clips put a smile on your face. But have you come across a wholesome clip of a rhinoceros having fun or playing in a field? A clip has been doing rounds on the internet, featuring a black rhino named Apollo being pampered by its caretakers at Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya.
The wildlife trust is known for their animal protection efforts as well as running an orphan elephant rescue and rehabilitation program. On July 27, they posted a video of an orphaned black rhino who loves to get pampered with a warm bottle of milk, mud bath and even a soothing belly rub from his caretakers. The one minute-long clip opens up with Apollo gushing down a bottle of milk, followed by a fun mud bath. We later see it running through the wild, visibly happy.
The videos explains that Apollo is being raised at the trust’s Kaluku Field Headquarters by experienced keepers who provide care and comfort to the animals. The clip focuses on its lifestyle, daily schedule as well as its changing needs as it grows older. Apollo has even been assigned a new spacious bedroom with plenty of space to stretch out and sleep under the stars, which it approved by taking a nap there.
