A Beastly Affair. Basha the randy rhino was feeling sore yesterday over an affair that messed up his image as a stud. Toy boy Basha got bashed when he tried it on with a female twice his age. And he ended up swathed in bandages. Basha a 12-Year-old likely lad, had wangled a date with June, 26, a mother of six. Spring was in the air and the scene was set for tons of love to make the earth move. Unfortunately June was not in the mood. But after a thundering tiff, Basha was the one with the headache. Angey June whacked him with her horn, just missing his eye, and sent him packing. Basha was not a pretty sight yesterday as he moped about his London Zoo enclosure. Even think-skinned keepers felt sorry for the rejected lover. The consoled him with snacks of bananas while a vet dressed his wounds. Basha was taken to London from KentOs Port Lympne zoo two weeks ago as part of a breeding programme. A London spokesman reflected: Unless the female is in season, rhinos fight when they get together. We and Basha thought that June was ready. I guess we were wrong. WeOll try again Ð and hope they kiss and make up. June, the 26-year-old mother of six. March 1990 P000637

EDITORS COMMENTS
A Beastly Affair: Basha the Randy Rhino's Love Misadventure". In this print titled "A Beastly Affair" we witness the unfortunate tale of Basha, a randy rhino whose pursuit of love left him feeling sore and wounded. Known for his reputation as a stud, Basha found himself entangled in an affair that tarnished his image. The story unfolds with Basha, a 12-year-old lad brimming with youthful enthusiasm, attempting to woo June, a mature female twice his age and mother of six. With spring in the air and love on their minds, expectations were high for an earth-shaking romance. However, fate had different plans. June was not receptive to Basha's advances and their encounter quickly turned sour. In a fit of anger, she unleashed her horn upon him narrowly missing his eye. Defeated and heartbroken, poor Basha retreated to his enclosure at London Zoo where he moped about in visible distress. Even the typically thick-skinned keepers couldn't help but sympathize with the rejected lover. They showered him with bananas while a compassionate vet tended to his wounds. This incident occurred just two weeks after Basha's arrival from Kent's Port Lympne zoo as part of a breeding program aimed at preserving these magnificent creatures. Reflecting on this unexpected turn of events, a London Zoo spokesperson admitted their misjudgment regarding June's readiness for mating season—a common cause for rhinos' aggressive behavior when brought together. Nevertheless, hope remains alive as they plan another attempt at reuniting this unlikely pair in hopes that they may kiss and make up once more.
