A heart-wrenching video of baby rhino trying to wake its dead mother killed by poachers is being circulated on social media. The video shared by IFS Officer Susanta Nanda shows a baby rhino trying to wake the mother, who is killed by poachers for the horn. The mother rhino can be seen lying selfless, while her baby desperately tries to wake her up. 

In the 51-second video, one can also hear a man in the background revealing that the baby rhino is desperately trying to suckle some milk and wake the mother with no response. He can also be heard saying, “I can’t understand this. This horrific to see”.
