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”.
While referring to the disturbing video of a body of a woman at Muzaffarpur Railway Station and a toddler tugging at the cloth that is partially covering the mother's body, Nanda also wrote, "humans have failed the humanity”.
The video of a toddler trying to wake up his dead mother at Muzaffarpur Railway station shocked the nation yesterday.

I am very worried about the future of that baby Rhino, was he saved?”.
This is equally disturbing. You shouldn't have posted. It just made me cry like a hell.
