Watch a video: Mother rhino stands guard to protect her baby
Recommended for Foundational Grades
Today, on World Rhino Day, let’s read about a brave mother rhino living in Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve in Assam.
This is a video shared by IFS (Indian Forest Officer) officer Ramesh Pandey. It shows a mother rhino and her calf at a riverbank in Kaziranga.
In the video, you can see the mother rhino stepping into the river stream, while the baby walks away from her. Then we hear a few birds chirping, and the noise begins to increase. Suddenly, the mother rhino gets startled (surprised) and begins to check the area. Then she runs close to her baby, still being alert. Finally, she stands guard next to her baby.
The video shows how mothers can be protective, even among animals. It has gone viral on social media and viewed almost 30 thousand times on Twitter.
How the mother rhino suddenly gets alarmed to save her calf, knowing that a predator is around.
A must watch.
