Michael Adler (R) bottle-feeds a baby rhinoceros while animal caregivers Carsten Ludwig and Manuela Hoffmann take its temperature at the all-weather zoo in Muenster, Germany, 21 September 2009. The 50-kilogramme baby was born on 20 September and instead of being brought up by its mother is cared for by a team of staff twenty-four-seven. The baby rhinoceros' mother 'Emmi' had panicked and killed her first two babies shortly after their birth. PHOTO: BERND THISSEN.
