Lunga and Faith are two young, rambunctious rhinos who lost their parents to poachers, reported One Green Planet. Luckily, the workers at The Rhino Orphanage in Limpopo, South Africa, took them into their care and they've been thriving at their new home. On a walk, the pair was filmed being very silly and playful, headbutting each other, running back and forth, and then running off towards the camera.
The Orphanage posted the video to their Facebook page, much to the joy of its followers. "When you are protected you are free," said one commenter named Marie-Louise Viljoen, in reference to the fact that these rhinos can act like the fun, young animals that they are, without fear of poachers, due to the actions of the Rhino Orphanage.

The orphanage specializes in saving the lives of orphaned rhinos whose families were torn apart by the poaching crisis. They raise the rhinos and then return them to the wild.
Arrie Van Deventer, the man behind the Orphanage, is determined to save as many rhinos as possible and confront the poaching crisis head-on by allowing the rhinos that are left to have a happy, healthy life. The species is endangered, but he is doing everything he can so that they don't go extinct, says The Rhino Orphanage's website.
