This young white rhino became extremely excited while getting rid of an itch on its belly.

Footage captured in Kruger National Park, South Africa, shows the little one scratching its body against a tree.

''While on safari in the Kruger National Park, we came across three white rhino that just finished rolling around in the mud. Our attention was drawn to the young rhino and its mother,'' the filmed said.

''They were covered in mud and started scratching themselves against a fallen tree. The little rhino stole the show with its incredible energetic behaviour and funny movements while scratching itself.''

The clip was captured on January 15.

While on safari in the Kruger National Park, we came across three white rhino that just finished rolling around in the mud. Our attention was drawn to the young rhino and its mother. They were covered in mud and started scratching themselves against a fallen tree. The little rhino stole the show with its incredible energetic behaviour and funny movements while scratching itself. This young rhino was clearly extremely itchy and became super excited while getting rid of the itch on its body. While scratching all the hard to reach places on its body, the cute little rhino would occasionally have these outbursts of joy, bouncing and jumping around in circles. All the scratching was leading to great satisfaction for the little one. Watching this adorable rhino bouncing around with excitement and great satisfaction made for very entertaining viewing. The white rhino loves wallowing in the mud as it helps them get rid of itchy parasites and insects on their skin. After a mud bath the rhino would scratch its body against so called rubbing posts such as stumps, logs and rocks. While scratching off the mud, they get rid of those skin irritations at the same time.
