A MIRACLE baby rhino whose mother barely survived an attack by poachers while pregnant shows just how happy to be alive a baby can be. Pictures show the exuberant baby rhino charging towards the photographer in sheer joy and also the proud mummy rhino who survived a brutal attack from poachers that left her hornless and battling to live. This little rhino shows mum’s struggle for survival was well worth it and the baby is seen enjoying life to the full. South African photographer Jacques Matthysen (37) described the moment these pictures were taken at the Kariega Game Reserve.
