Hello, I'm Leah, it's Tuesday and we've got loads coming up

0:00:020:00:05

on Newsround today including: The story of the baby rhino that

0:00:050:00:09

survived against the odds.

0:00:090:00:13

And find out about the spot that crossed the sun yesterday.

0:00:130:00:16

Firefighters have been able to inspect the damage after a huge

0:00:250:00:27

wildfire that destroyed the Canadian town of Fort McMurray

0:00:280:00:31

more than a week ago.

0:00:310:00:35

While some neighbourhoods have been almost entirely wiped out,

0:00:350:00:39

experts believe many of the town's buildings have survived.

0:00:390:00:42

It offers some hope to the 88,000 people who escaped the flames

0:00:420:00:46

and officials say they people may be able to return in about two weeks.

0:00:460:00:53

A grammar, punctuation and spelling test due to be taken this morning

0:00:530:00:56

by all ten and 11 year old children in England has been

0:00:560:00:59

accidentally published online.

0:00:590:01:02

SATs answers appeared on a password protected exam board

0:01:020:01:04

website for a short while.

0:01:040:01:07

It's the second time in three weeks this has happen.

0:01:070:01:09

The Department for Education says it's investigating the mistake

0:01:090:01:13

and the test will still be going ahead as normal.

0:01:130:01:15

Now to the story of an amazing baby rhino.

0:01:150:01:18

In February his mum was killed by poachers for her horn and then

0:01:180:01:23

they tried to take his too, but he survived.

0:01:230:01:25

At least one rhino a day is killed by poachers in Africa by criminals

0:01:250:01:28

who sell their horns for a lot of money.

0:01:280:01:30

This is Lofo's story.

0:01:300:01:33

It's February 2016, and a wounded rhino is being rushed into this

0:01:420:01:45

animal orphanage in South Africa.

0:01:450:01:49

I wish more people would explain how horrible it is to find these babies.

0:01:490:01:55

He's just a baby, and his mum has been killed by poachers.

0:01:560:02:00

It's traumatic, they're stressed, they call for their mums.

0:02:040:02:10

Their herd is gone, their mum is gone.

0:02:100:02:15

His name is Lofo and vets are giving him life-saving treatment.

0:02:150:02:19

This orphanage is the biggest in the world and looks

0:02:300:02:35

after over 50 rhino.

0:02:350:02:36

They are in a terrible state, they are very scared.

0:02:360:02:39

They fear everything.

0:02:390:02:43

What you immediately pick up in your heart is devastating.

0:02:430:02:45

Like Lofo, they have all lost their mums because of poaching.

0:02:450:02:49

After Lofo's man was killed, he was attacked by the poachers

0:02:520:02:55

who tried to take his horn as well, but he managed to escape.

0:02:550:03:01

The wounds on his back was severe, very, very deep.

0:03:020:03:05

The brutality must have been something else.

0:03:050:03:08

Lofo was alone for five days in the national park,

0:03:080:03:13

with no milk, food or water.

0:03:130:03:14

Despite his injuries he survived, and was luckily found by the team.

0:03:140:03:19

That animal wants to love.

0:03:190:03:22

That's all he wants to do.

0:03:220:03:26

He wants to love.

0:03:260:03:28

Petronella and a group of experts have operated on Lofo's wounds.

0:03:280:03:31

They have fed him by hand everyday and they are now

0:03:310:03:36

helping him to get well again.

0:03:360:03:37

He just grabbed onto life.

0:03:370:03:39

Now, you know, you can stand with him and he will kiss you,

0:03:390:03:42

and he enjoys being with others.

0:03:420:03:45

He's getting stronger and he's got a new family.

0:03:450:03:52

I can't wait to release him to breed with females and see all those

0:03:550:03:58

babies running around.

0:03:580:04:02

I can't wait, he's a brilliant animal.

0:04:020:04:04

He's lovely, isn't he?

0:04:160:04:18

Well, tomorrow you'll be able to see Defending the Rhino on CBBC,

0:04:180:04:21

our special film about the fight to save some of Africa's most

0:04:210:04:24

magnificent creatures.

0:04:240:04:27

And, you can watch the trailer for the film over

0:04:270:04:29

on the Newsround website.

0:04:290:04:30

That's also where you can find out more about poaching and learn how

0:04:300:04:33

poo can help you track a rhino.

0:04:330:04:37

Finally, it was a good day for stargazers yesterday

0:04:370:04:40

as the planet Mercury crossed the face of the sun causing

0:04:400:04:43

a black dot to appear.

0:04:430:04:44

This event lasted about seven hours and it won't happen

0:04:440:04:46

again for three years.

0:04:460:04:47

It was too dangerous to watch with the naked eye but could be

0:04:470:04:50

seen through telescopes.

0:04:500:04:52

That's all from me, Newsround's back right here in about half an hour.
