Watch: Rhino has last laugh as ellies scatter and safari vehicle retreats
A riled-up rhino in no mood to share his patch of the Kruger soon cleared the road.
Giggles quickly turned into nervous laughter for a seasoned safari guide and his guests during a morning encounter in the Greater Kruger.
The encounter, which was shared in a video courtesy of Latestsightings.com, sees Tervin Mdluli and his group watching a herd of elephants drink and bathe. However, a few moments later, a rhino bull charges at the herd.
The rhino and elephants’ antics put a smile on Mdluli’s face and drew a few giggles, but this soon changed when the rhino set its sights on the safari vehicle.
Getaway Magazine reports that male rhinos can be unpredictable as they are known for their territorial nature and poor eyesight.
“As a young male elephant attempted to face off with the rhino, it [the elephant] hesitated and stepped back, giving the rhino confidence to charge. The rhino drove the elephants away, clearing the area.”
