Adams Ricklish Rhino Date. Animal lover Adam Faith had a strange itch to tickle a rhino under the chin yesterday. And where better to try it than London Zoo, where Rosie the rhino was celebrating her first birthday. But ex-singer Adam was warned to stay well away from 45-stone Rosie. She might develop a heavy crush on him, experts explained. So the former poptopper, now a rhino-conservation campaigner, teamed up instead with a huge blow-up beast nearby. And back in her paddock Rosie, looking quited deflated, was left to eat her cake alone. November 1989 P000670

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming print titled "Adams Ricklish Rhino Date" we witness the extraordinary bond between animal lover Adam Faith and a rhino at London Zoo. On Rosie the rhino's first birthday, Adam couldn't resist his peculiar desire to tickle her under the chin. However, experts cautioned him against getting too close to the 45-stone Rosie, fearing she might develop an affectionate crush on him. Undeterred by this warning, Adam, now a passionate rhino-conservation campaigner, found solace in teaming up with a colossal blow-up replica of his beloved creature nearby. As he playfully interacted with his inflatable companion, Rosie looked somewhat deflated back in her paddock as she celebrated alone. This heartwarming snapshot from November 1989 captures not only Adam's endearing connection with animals but also showcases the delightful humor and cute friendships that can form between humans and creatures alike. The image serves as a reminder of our capacity for empathy towards these magnificent beings and highlights the importance of campaigns like those led by Adam to protect endangered species such as rhinos. Preserved through time by Mirrorpix's Memory Lane Prints collection, this photograph encapsulates both an era gone by (the 1980s) and timeless themes of love for animals and conservation efforts that continue to resonate today.
