Yes, she did pet it, and yes, so did I, even though I do have some philosophical issues with habituating wild animals to human contact. But, in our defense, it is captive-born and raised, and not being fostered for later release, so from a management standpoint I suppose there is a benefit to having them used to human contact. The adult rhinos behaved pretty much like house cats, if house cats weighed 1500 pounds, had 1.5 inch skin like naugahyde, and freakin' huge stabbing horns.
