Orphaned Baby Zebra And Rhino Calf Healed Each Other And Cant Stop Cuddling At Night

Baby animals can be incredibly open and loving, no matter what their species. And the adorable bond between two unlikely animal friends at the Care for Wild Rhino Sanctuary in South Africa serves as indisputable proof of that statement. Daisy, a rescued baby rhino who was found orphaned in the wild, came to the sanctuary in very critical condition.

"This tiny, miniature rhino instantly climbed into our hearts. With her oversized feet, droopy lips, and hairy ears, she looked prehistoric, and yet she was so unbelievably vulnerable," the sanctuary shared in a Dec. 14 Facebook post. Daisy's care includes staying at the sanctuary's ICU, receiving plasma transfusions and antibiotics, getting light exercise, and keeping warm with blankets. Humans aren't Daisy's only helpers. The young rhino recently befriended another patient at the sanctuary's ICU: Modjadji, a young zebra foal rescued following severe storms. Modjadji started keeping Daisy company shortly after the baby rhino arrived and can often be found cuddling and nuzzling the animal.
