Bathing Beauty Rhino

Attacks from animal right's groups.  Increasing pressure placed upon species in the wild.  The looming specter of mass extinction.  Yeah... it's hard to be an optimist these days.

It's important to be aware of the threats that wildlife faces.  It's equally important not to let oneself be burned  out and give in to despair.  With that in mind, it's more important than ever to celebrate the positive.  From Toronto Zoo, we have this footage of their newborn Indian one-horned rhinoceros taking its first shower.  There is a lot of danger facing this species in the wild, and their future looks grim.  But having one more rhino in the world is always a good start.
