In this touching video, a rescued baby rhino plays with its caregivers in Kenya’s National Park

Not much can’t be improved by a touching tale about an animal. Numerous articles about animals, both uncommon and remarkable, are now popular on the internet. These tales inspire readers to feel good in their hearts and foster a bond with animals. These days, a young rhino’s tale has gone viral on the internet.

The endearing story of Chamboi, a beautiful rhino from Kenya, has gained a lot of love on social media. A popular video that was shared by the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust depicts the adventurous newborn rhino enjoying life to the fullest.

During their nighttime stroll, the film captures little Chamboi racing enthusiastically following his caregiver and simultaneously receiving some hugs. The trust also posted a video of Chamboi, who they refer to as the “pocket rocket,” and how he enjoys sprinting back while stopping often for hugs.

Social media users responded to the video by thanking the caregivers in the remarks they left in the comment area. “So adorable and priceless, I appreciate you taking care of God’s animals,” one person commented, while another said, “Chamboi! What a lovely little mischievous person! I like seeing him play and develop his feistiness. Have a restful sleep tonight, little Chamboi.

“It makes me happy to see my sweet Chamboi content with his cherished Keepers.” They are the greatest; they really know when and how to provide hugs! “I believe that each heals the other in the most necessary ways,” said a third user, and “I appreciate the keepers… lovely humans with big hearts,” noted a fourth.

The Rescue Tale of Chamboi

The newborn rhino’s rescue tale was also relayed by the trust. In the Tsavo West National Park’s free-roaming rhino area, Chamboi was discovered by Tsavo Trust and Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) rangers in September 2023, alone by a waterhole. Though the region is well-known for harboring a large population of black rhinos, Chamboi’s mother was conspicuously absent.

The trust made the decision to intervene and offer Chamboi a second shot at life when they saw that his mother was nowhere to be found. The once-frail calf, which was saved when he was just a day old, has grown into a “real character, huffing, puffing, and charging around with exuberance.”

In order to maintain a connection to his origin, the trust also disclosed that the young rhino has been named after a hill in Tsavo West National Park.
