You need to see this baby rhino taking a bath for the very first time

If you thought tiny puppies frolicking around in water was adorable, then you ain't seen nothing yet.

Blank Park Zoo in the US city of Des Moines uploaded possibly the cutest video ever to their Facebook page of a rhino wriggling around in its first ever bath.

The three-week-old baby rhino looks in it's element as it gets washed down with a hose by one of the zookeepers, who are also giving the rhino's mum her own bath.

At first, the black rhino seems a bit cautious of the gush of water coming her way, but when she sees how much her mother is enjoying the animal car wash, she joins in.

Then she realises that it is in fact a lot more fun to roll around on the floor and use it as a slip and slide than to actually stand up while she's getting washed.

And it seems she may have desperately needed the wash as the zoo gifted her with a tiny pumpkin last week, just in time for Halloween, which she of course pulled apart.

The rare black rhino was born at the zoo last month to mom Ayana and dad Kiano.

The calf is said to be the seventh black rhino born in a zoo this year, according to the Des Moines Register.
