Whos an ugly boy, then? He may not be a pretty baby
Whos an ugly boy, then? He may not be a pretty baby. But Bardia the Indian rhino is pretty rare. He is one of only 1, 400 in the world and five of those are in Britain. They include his mother Roopa, who was keeping a close eye on her 8-stone son yesterday at Whipsnade zoo, Beds. Bardia, making his first public appearance, was ready to cope with any taunts about his looks. Although hes only three weeks old, hes already thick-skinned. Bardia with his Mother Roopa.

Whos an ugly boy, then? He may not be a pretty baby. But Bardia the Indian rhino is pretty rare. He is one of only 1,400 in the world and five of those are in Britain. They include his mother Roopa, who was keeping a close eye on her 8-stone son yesterday at Whipsnade zoo, Beds. Bardia, making his first public appearance, was ready to cope with any taunts about his looks. Although he's only three weeks old, he's already thick-skinned. In this heartwarming print from October 1989 captured by Mirrorpix during the 20th century era, we see Bardia alongside his loving mother Roopa. Despite being called 'ugly, ' Bardia's uniqueness lies in his rarity rather than conventional beauty standards. The adorable baby rhinoceros weighs a solid eight stones and has become quite the attraction at Whipsnade zoo. With only five Indian rhinos residing in Britain at that time, including him and his vigilant mother Roopa; it is truly a privilege to witness their presence. This humorous yet endearing image showcases Bardia's resilience as he confidently faces any potential mockery regarding his appearance. Even though just three weeks old when this photograph was taken back in October 1989; Bardia proves that true beauty lies beyond superficial features. Let this snapshot transport you back to an era filled with cute animal encounters and remind us all of the
