A greater one-horned rhino calf at Chester Zoo has been named by his keepers.
After bonding with him and watching his personality, keepers decided to name the rare one-month old Akeno.
The name is of Asian origin and means “beautiful sunrise”.
Posting the announcement on Facebook, Chester Zoo said: “He’s bolshie. He’s cheeky. He’s quite the handful for mum.”

Akeno is only the second greater one-horned rhino to be born at the zoo, as part of an endangered species breeding programme.
