A rhinoceros born Sunday in Germany is poised to become that country’s next cute and cuddly animal sensation, Der Spiegel reports. The as yet unnamed baby rhino, already 128 pounds, will live at the zoo in the city of Münster and be raised by humans after its mother rejected it. The 18-year-old mother, Emmi, had killed two of her offspring previously, and was acting distraught during the birth.
“Emmi kept pushing the little rhino into a corner,” says a Münster Zoo biologist. “We decided to intervene after four minutes.” (More Münster stories.)
