The not-so-little rhino was born Feb. 17 and already weighs 180 kg, and is still growing by about 2.3 kg per day.
Keepers say he spends plenty of time with his mom, Ashakiran, and loves to take showers every day.
They are now trying to find a name for the rhino.

Thank you for posting this topic Vicky.
Gaining approximately 5lbs per day, now weighing over 400lbs, our Indian rhino calf is the heaviest 2 month old in town! He continues to gain confidence, socializes with both mom and keepers, and loves his daily showers. Although he will continue to nurse for the next year, he is starting to mouth mom's food including straw, hay and bamboo leaves. Be sure to visit him and mom, Ashakiran today!
Thank you for this lovely post. This baby rhino is already very heavy, not very easy to pick up and rock in your arms, but he is very cute.
I want to go and see this rhino, as well as the pandas in June when I have some time off. What a heavy baby rhino; I guess I wan't pick him up?
