Baby rhino called desperately: "Wake up Mum! Why don't you answer me?"
A baby rhino walked around its mum anxiously, nudging her head and even tried to suckle milk from her. But the mother rhino has been shot to dead and unresponsive, with both horns being hacked off. This tragic scene happening at a national park in South Africa is heartbreaking.

A video filmed by the charity Rhino 911 exposed this devastating and guilty act by the poachers. The filmer Nico Jacobs said: 'I can't understand this it's absolutely horrific to see, to see how it's trying to suckle some milk.'
Rhino 911 was alerted the appearance of the rhino calf without mother, which is abnormal. They arrived the spot and only to find the terrible truth - an orphan baby rhino desperately calling for mum. But some night lions were already devouring the mother's carcass.
