Tabu, a Bollywood actress who starred in Life of Pi is being charged along with four other actors for the killing of a protected animal.

OMG!! There is nothing cuter than small versions of big things.

Australia Zoo just announced the birth of their second Southern White Rhinoceros calf, a cute lil baybay gurrrl.

We say lil just cause she's tiny for a rhino. She actually weighs about 100 pounds!!

Because of poaching for their horns, White Rhinos are listed as Near Threatened.

So every time a new Rhino is born into the world, it's an event to celebrate!

The lil baby and her mama are spending time bonding off display.

A zookeeper said:

"We're really happy with her progress. She is feeding and is quite active – she was walking within hours of the birth."

That's great! We're so glad she's healthy!

Congrats, mama Rhino!
