Over three quarters of the world's rhino population live in South Africa.

This makes it a dangerous place due to poaching.

Poachers kill animals without permission.

One white rhino horn can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars.

They're in high demand in Asia, where the horns are used in traditional medicine.

The babies weigh only 20 kilograms at birth and without mothers, they're in great danger and need 24/7 attention.

At a centre for the baby animals, the Rhino Orphanage, care is managed by talented vet Doctor Pierre Bester, who's known as "the rhino whisperer".

The death of the baby rhinos' mothers is extremely damaging for them.

Dr Bester's developed different techniques to help, such as arranging a sheep friend for the rhinos.

The babies' carers can choose to spend the night close by as well, to help relax the young animals.

These different solutions explain why the Rhino Orphanage has been so successful.

It's hoped that these rhinos will eventually return to the wild, but only if Bester and his team can think of enough ways to protect them.
