IIve got you under my Skin: Rubbing noses with your baby could be an alarming experience
IIve got you under my Skin: Rubbing noses with your baby could be an alarming experience when it is armour-plated all over and weighs around 1001b. But not when mum tips the scales at more than two tons and has the same shapely statistics as a Crusader tank. Love was in the air yesterday when Roopa the Indian rhinoceros showed off little Ropen at Whipsnade Zoo in Bedfordshire. Roopa (Which means beautiful) gave birth to Ropen (which means silver) three weeks ago and she will be feeding the youngster herself for another two years. Ropen absolutely loves the stuff probably tastes like canned milk. May 1988 P000624

EDITORS COMMENTS
Love knows no bounds, even when it comes to the animal kingdom! In this heartwarming print titled 'I've got you under my Skin, ' we witness an extraordinary bond between a mother and her baby. Roopa, the majestic Indian rhinoceros weighing over two tons, proudly introduces little Ropen to the world at Whipsnade Zoo in Bedfordshire. Despite Ropen's armor-plated exterior and hefty 1001b weight, there is nothing alarming about their adorable nose-to-nose interaction. It's a tender moment filled with affection and trust that melts your heart. Roopa, meaning beautiful in her native language, radiates maternal love as she nurtures her silver-coated bundle of joy. Born just three weeks ago, Ropen will continue to be nourished by his doting mother for another two years. Their connection is undeniable as they share precious moments together. Perhaps Ropen finds comfort in his mother's milk which he adores; it must taste like heaven! This delightful snapshot captures not only the beauty of these magnificent creatures but also showcases the power of love transcending all barriers. The year was 1988 when this enchanting scene unfolded at Whipsnade Zoo—a testament to timeless friendships formed within nature itself. Let this image remind us that love can be found everywhere if we open our hearts to its magic.
