A Baby Rhino Having Its First Bath Is Too Cute To Handle

The baby rhino was born October 11th.

It's official -- there's nothing better in the whole world than a baby rhino taking a bath for the first time and this video proves it.

The video, posted on Iowa's Blank Park Zoo's Facebook page, captures the baby rhino playfully rolling around in the water showing its' belly off while the baby's mother watches on.

At the end of the clip, taken at the zoo in Des Moines, the mother joins the baby and they stand under the water happily together and it's honestly too adorable to handle.

The yet to be named rhino is one of seven rhinos to be born in zoos worldwide this year, The Des Moines Register reports.

Eastern black rhinos are currently listed as critically endangered and Blank Park Zoo works with the International Rhino Foundation to secure a brighter future for the species.
