Zoo keepers at Burgers' Zoo in The Netherlands were surprised when a baby rhino decided to enter the world earlier than expected.

The baby rhino may be a preemie but he's stable and healthy!

Even though he was born 6 weeks early and no zoo keepers were around to see it!

His 12-year-old mother is healthy too!

They are white rhinos and they are listed as Near Threatened which means that as a species in the wild, they're not doing too well. Mainly because of poaching.

That's so sad because they're so CUTE!

Check out the video (above) to see the little guy walking around just being adorbz.

Tom Willis was born without arms.

But that doesn't stop him from living his life!

He fed a giraffe!

With his feet!!

'They have a two-hour feeding window and for $2, you can get three biscuits. I've wanted to do it for a while, but I was concerned how they might react.

I pet dogs with my feet, but they can get riled up because when you lift your foot, it looks like you're going to kick them.'

He waited until other people weren't around and had help from the zoo keepers setting it up.

Even though both he and the giraffes were wary at first, he actually fed them.

'A giraffe tongue is one inch for every foot of neck. I wasn't sure what having a salami-like tongue around my foot would feel like.

They don't have top teeth. You know, the tongue wasn't soft and gooey, but it wasn't sandpapery like a cat's tongue. I'd describe it as firm, but moist.'

So even though he doesn't have arms, he hasn't let that stop him from living as normal a life as possible!

Way to go!

Luckily the 400-pound gorilla was caught before it got into the public areas of the zoo.

Koga, a 24-year-old gorilla, was able to get out of his cage at the Buffalo Zoo.

No one is sure how he got out but no one questions that when his cage door was left unlocked he had no choice but to try for freedom.
