While it's adorable, it's also terrifying, I kept waiting for the rhino to make one wrong step or it's head accidentally ramming the deer
This is as close as we are ever gonna get to a dik-dik vs unicorn battle! 😭
The deer is called Tata, rhinoceros is named Maruska.
Also, if any doubt:
Maciej Okupnik, a zookeeper at the Wroclaw zoo, told Polish media the pair were play-fighting: “It’s more like theatre, and you can see Maruska is having a little fun.”
28.66 pounds.
Almost enough for meal at mcdonald.
Wow! I would have thought that rhino would be heavier. That deer must weigh less than a pound.
Proof that fear is a learned response.
Fun
Zoos make me sad.
Chester Zoo is a conservation zoo and it's amazing. All animals have the option to hide. Their enclosures are huge.
The zoos here in Germany are sad, though. I went to the two in Berlin and they just made me cry.
