Shall I tell you a secret? But don't tell anyone else! I don't like Birat, the rhino with the big horn. I don't like his friend either. And I certainly don't like Elina, the little fat rhino.

I like humans much more. People give me good food and pet me. And they take lots of pictures of me. They call me Kunjana. It means ‘The girl from the forest’ in the Nepali language. I live in a small village in Nepal where people speak Nepalese.

Do you know where Nepal is? I do. It is very far away. Nepal is so far away that you have to fly for many hours. It takes you almost a whole day by car to get from the airport to my village.

I am a rhino girl, a little Indian rhino girl. I have a cute little horn on my nose, my mum says. She's not really my mum, I just live with her. Her name is Michaela. I don't remember my real mum. There was a big flood in the area after the last rain. It was Michaela who found me in the forest next to the river and saved my life. That's why she used to call me Kunjana, the ‘Forest girl’.

I was a very small baby rhino at the time. A cute little baby rhino. Now I'm big and naughty, says Michaela. I should be playing with the other rhinoceroses during the day and not following the tourists. But I always get delicious bananas from the tourists. Word has got around that there is a rhino in my village who likes bananas. But Michaela says I should eat hay, grass, leaves and vegetables. That's what real rhinos eat. Bananas are not real rhino food, monkeys eat bananas. I'm not a monkey, I'm a real rhino. I still like bananas! I love bananas, they are sooo delicious! Bananas are my favourite food.

Many tourists come to my village. They want to see me, the little rhino girl who was saved by humans.
