The boisterous 18-stone mammal named Nicky was rescued by Mike Watson who found him running around alone.

Mike, CEO of the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, which was founded to protect rhinos from poachers, said: 'A couple of months ago we noticed a baby rhino running into things, straying away from his mother and getting confused.
'The veterinary team confirmed he was blind, so we took him in as the chances of survival in the wild would have been very slim.
'The first few days in his new home were difficult for him, but now he’s thriving, growing and getting into all kinds of trouble.'
Over the next few months, Mike is hoping to raise enough money to fly in a specialist to perform cataract surgery to restore Nicky’s eyesight.
