Watch: Baby rhino's got some neck

Now at two months old and growing in confidence every day, both mum and baby have been exploring every corner of the African section of the four-mile drive-through safari. Naturally, this meant bumping into a variety of very curious animals.

First to investigate their new, tiny companion at the park near Bridgnorth was the giraffe. Gentle by nature, mum, Ailsa, seemed at ease as female giraffe, Faida, slowly bent her neck to get a closer look.

They came nose to nose, which was a bit too close for the youngster, who boldly attempted a quick nudge to show who's boss.

The park's photo and video team, Matt Lissimore and James Felton, have been out on the reserves observing the little one since his first day out.

Matt said: "Observing and photographing Ekozu as he learns and plays has been an incredible experience and a real privilege.

"He's full of energy first thing in the morning and on occasions it's been quite a challenge trying to keep up with him. I hope that Ekozu sparks the public's interest in these animals and helps to raise awareness for rhino conservation."

James added: "It's been interesting to look back at the early footage and see how much he has grown, even in such a short space of time.

"You can see him actually starting to develop a personality; from being quite timid and not leaving his mum's side, to growing in confidence as he meets the other animals."
