Baby rhino Bula makes the sweetest noises and wants to climb on his carer's lap

Nurse Dot’s time with Bula has come to an end but thanks to her help and insights, he is on the path to a bright future. On behalf of HESC and Wildlife Conservation Trust, a big THANK YOU to nurse Dot and Saving The Survivors. As the saying goes … teamwork makes the dream work. Together for the rhinos!
This sweet video shows the interaction between Bula and Dot - with Bula wanting to climb on her lap. 🤣 ❣🦏

Baby rhinos are just the cutest in everything they do. It breaks my heart that it is motherless.

Stop lying. Your heart ain't broken.

[@trainsacomin2088]

It just ain't right

[@fw1421]

But it will be taken care of by people that will love it.

Baby Bula needs a playmate. The little noise that he makes is so heartbreaking. I hope that he finds a bestie! ❤️

[@taurak81]

I remember seeing a video of a baby rhino playing with a full size male German Shepherd. Was super cute. The same GSD had also been a companion to a baby elephant that lost it's mother. Unfortunately the baby elephant got sick and passed away, but the GSD gave him a buddy through the whole ordeal and allowed him to get some play time in before the end.

Bula's little sounds are adorable 🦏❣

[@imnotanalien7839]

😂😂😂❤. Bula’s a mama’s boy…. He just wants to cuddle on mom’s lap! 800lbs sitting on 100lbs!😂😂This video is precious…it may change a few minds on the rhino (like me). ❤❤

[@shirleymorris7760]

This dear little soul wants to cuddle, all 400 pounds of him! Not to mention his horn! His wee cries are so sweet. He's come a long way since his arrival. Thanks for taking such good care of him🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@anitamenig]

Yes, this baby wants to cuddle and unfortunately is too big for its human. I wonder if these babies are similar in weight to baby elephants. I see videos with tourists cuddling little elephants and no one seems to get hurt. They (tourists and elephants) always have so much fun. I wonder if cuddling a baby rhino is simply too risky?

[@anitamenig]

I guess I can answer my own question. This baby is quite a whopper. Never mind. Just feel so bad for it.

[@bonchidude]

He looks to be about 200 pounds but that skin is thick so who knows. Maybe the angle of the shot makes Bula look smaller than he is.

[@seansartor]

You really think he’s 400lbs ? That not a bad number ?! 🤔

[@markgoodman240]

Like most babies, Bula needs lots of loving. Nurse Dot has obviously done an INCREDIBLE job of helping Bula reach this stage of his life.

[@pattimiller9157]

Oh how I wish I could hug and hold him ❤

[@dorothywestcott2408]

It is so nice to see Bula 🦏 thriving with HES. I can see that he loves his cuddles. Thank you for including us in his progress ❤️🦏❤️

[@poorthing]

Poor little baby. I had no idea they made such sweet noises, he even stamped his foot when he couldn't get in her lap. If he lays down, could she safely sit next to him & give him pets? I wonder what his weight is at this size?

[@debraevans6795]

BEAUTIFUL BABY BULA, IT'S OK! DON'T CRY. SENDING LOVE AND HUGS TO YOU!🦏🧡🫶

[@janparish7895]

Oh he's a Sweetheart and I'm need of a cuddle. 🩵🦏🩵🙏

[@karenstafford724]

He is absolutely gorgeous and so cute.❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@candicechan1361]

Baby Bula 🦏so adorable ❤❤❤

[@annettelane659]

Aww the foregoing comments say it all. Such a gorgeous little Rhino. Thank you so much for posting. . ❤

[@bea-ftloa1142]

Thank you, Nurse Dot for helping out with precious Bula. 💖🦏

[@susycavaleiro1265]

That's the cutest thing I've ever seen. Squeaking because he wants lap time.😂😂😂 Those big ears kill me!!!😂😂😂🦏🦏🦏❤❤❤

[@fabienneroure9995]

He's super adorable!❤❤❤

[@11spiritwarrior]

Aren’t those sweet demanding cries universal of babies of every species? And the mothering response is universal too.♥️

[@ClarissaM666]

The little whines and foot stomp when she wouldn't let him get on her lap! Too cute. My dog makes the same noises whenever he wants my attention while I work from home

[@jetsengoytredkl]

A friend had a horse that would rest on his lap when she was a few months old. Years later he was sitting in a chair in the pasture under a tree. That same horse (a thousand or more pounds by then) tried to get in his lap and almost collapsed the chair with my friend in it before he got out from in under her. He thought it was funny but after that he paid way more attention to what she was doing when around him 😂

[@01maggie]

Soooo cute 🥰 Please show us more of Bula!!❤

[@ozdorothyfan]

This chunk doesn't know how heavy he is, and how feeble we are in comparison to him. He will learn.

[@jametalboy]

Very cute and demanding baby rhino but also well behaved

[@suzmaca650]

Poor baby

[@cattailer1077]

Omg! Sooo dear!💖

[@bobbydigital8056]

She is truly the luckiest person there is to be able to experience things like that on a daily basis. I'm so jealous.

[@annm4833]

This is so sweet. What an honor to find that you matter to a baby rhino ❤❤❤

[@tfs4499]

So cool to interact with an amazing creature of that magnitude!

[@marleyboy7732]

Shes definitely got one of the coolest jobs. Thats gotta be fun!

[@jacklangley861]

He's just like a sweet puppy! Heartwarming! 🙏

[@PeteDavidson-yl3ps]

Try lying down with him…from behind…if your careful and consistent you’ll both be fine…obviously he loves you reaching out to you so now while he’s under a TON of love enjoy. My Belgium Heavy Drafts I trained from fillies and +2000 pounds and 5 years later we cuddle in the barn on piles of straw, no role over squashing me only snoring….ANIMAL LOVE!

[@annehaight9963]

I had no idea baby rhinos whined like that! Sounds just like a toddler.

[@CarolElliot-c4e]

Awe!!!! What cute noises he makes.Its sad he lost his Mama.May he grow up healthy & happy.So much love to him & his carer.❤❤❤

[@Highheels4ever]

Bula is a very cute, beautiful and precious baby rhino. Baby Rhinos are absolutely adorable and so very cute. God bless Bula always, he is a very handsome baby boy who is in great hands. He will be a very special big boy when he grows up. And, most likely, Bula will have plenty of girlfriends too 😀😀. Love you, Bula, I wish I was there to hug and kiss you 😘😘😘😘😘😘😍🙌🥰🥰🥰♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏

[@favabeany]

[@KingAmroth]

That sad realization when you learn you can't be a lap puppy. I hope he can rest his head on his keeper's lap at least.

[@MegaDeansy]

Animals are so real. They don't know how to lie, and usually give back what they get. ❤❤❤❤

The sounds are so very similar to that of whales. Imagine that sound underwater………whales!
