“While orphaned black rhino Apollo is more than capable of coating himself in mud, our pampered boy enjoys the indulgence all the same! His Keepers are happy to oblige while he's still a junior so that he saves his energy for daily lessons in foraging,” they wrote while sharing the video.

The clip shows the two keepers putting mud on the animal as it patiently enjoys the pampering session. At one point he even rolls over to let the keepers put some mud on his stomach. Texts appearing on the screen further explain about how Apollo enjoys this activity with his keepers.

Take a look at the super sweet video:

Since being posted a little over an hour ago, the video has gathered more than 2,600 likes – and the numbers are quickly increasing. It has also accumulated tons of comments from people.

“He's glorious and his care givers are marvelous,” wrote a Twitter user. “That’s my boy, nothing but the best,” shared another. “This is beautiful,” said a third. “Spoiled rhino child,” joked a fourth.
