One of the world's first baby rhino orphanages has opened in South Africa.
The first baby is a five month-old black rhino who experts believe was abandoned by its mother.
The little one receives 24 hour attention and is fed a nutritious diet of both vegetables and milk.
The center is set up to give baby rhinos who have been orphaned by poachers a chance at surviving in the wild.
In the first half of this year an estimated 245 rhinos were poached in South Africa.
