Keepers at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park near Ashford helped Inkosi, the youngest black rhino at the park, celebrate his first birthday. To celebrate his special day Keepers teamed up with local Filmers Bakery, Aldington, to treat Inkosi to a special rhino-friendly birthday cake in the shape of a carrot. Black rhinos are critically endangered in the wild, as the price of rhino horn soars so does the increase in poaching in the area. Rhino horn is worth more than gold due to demand in certain countries, where it is believed that it has medicinal properties -- some Asian countries even believe that it is a cure for cancer.
