A video of rhinoceros playing keyboard on its 12th birthday is making rounds on the internet. The video is from the  Denver Zoo in United States’ Colorado.

The video is of a cute-horned rhino, named Bandhu showing off his musical talent.

The video was captioned, “Happy Birthday, Bandhu! Our resident male greater one-horned rhino turns 12 today! It might be his birthday, but Bandhu wanted to treat you all to a special song he wrote all by himself. Using his prehensile lip to compose a tune is just one of the many ways we can use enrichment to mentally and physically stimulate the birthday boy. Look out for Bandhu in Toyota Elephant Passage on your next visit to Denver Zoo!”
