Orphaned Rhino Kisses Her New Mother

Info from Licensor: "This is Grace, a baby rhino, with her caretaker, Laura. Grace was orphaned from poaching and now lives at The Rhino Orphanage in South Africa. The caretakers develop strong bonds with the rhinos to act as surrogate mothers to replace the vital bond that they used to share with their mothers. This is ensures the success of the nurturing process and minimizes stress on the rhinos. As the rhinos get older, this bond is slowly broken to prepare them for release back to the wild." - Laura Ellison
