Often we fail to realize that animals have emotions too, and suffer from a sense of loss when a family member dies.
A baby rhino was found 'crying inconsolably' next to his dead mother, who was brutally killed by poachers in South Africa.

According to The Independent:

Quote:Gertjie was rescued from the wild on 7 May by staff at the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre (HESC) in South Africa after he was found next to his mother’s body."It was a devastating sight, as the tiny animal would not leave her side, and was crying inconsolably for her.”Gertjie, or ‘Little G’ as staff have nicknamed him, spent his first night at the center with a human minder and a sheep called Skaap, who acts as the surrogate mother to the animals there.

The good news is, the little rhino is responding to the care and regaining his strength. Now, almost 4 months old, he will remain at the center till he is about 18 months old, after which he will be reintroduced into the wild.The team are appealing for donations to ensure enough fat-free milk for the baby rhino.
