Babies at the zoo

For some reason, the Basel zoo seems to always have an abundance of baby animals. I finally got to see the latest addition during my zoo visit yesterday. She is a baby rhino, or Nashorn in German (literally, "nose horn"), named Batschii. She is so cute! She was born on September 2, and I read somewhere that she is gaining something like 6 kg a day (meaning she may not be "cute" for long). Here are a couple of pictures of her hanging out with her Mom.
