THIS video of a baby black rhino’s first steps is too much cuteness to handle.

The little rhino has was born at Howletts Wild Animal Park in Kent.

Due to poaching, black rhinos are incredibly rare, with only between 5,042 and 5,455 animals alive in the wild today according to charity Save the Rhino – so this little guy’s birth is extra special.

The birth comes just over a year after another arrival in Howletts’ rhino herd.

Kasungu, born to mum Damara around this time last year, was the first baby rhino to be born at the park in its 40-year history.
