Re: Dangerous Animal Incidents
That's what can happen, especially if the safety distance isn't kept.

Grumpy Rhino in Greater KNP
FB Post Africa, this is why I live here
Unusual for a white rhino to be THIS cross for THIS long..... proper mad as a snake joeh !!!
Can you hear his bellows ?
UPDATE: Rian Boshoff tells LatestSightings.com the story:
"We were on a drive with Taxan at Djuma and we were driving along riverbed when this bull white rhino crossed the road.
He stood still right next to the road and we went past him to continue our leopard search. As we did that, the Rhino suddenly charged.
And as you can imagine, the guide stepped on the gas and we were going around corners like madness
The guide decided to head for the bush by making a sharp right turn trying to throw him off guard because of their bad sight, but the Rhino just kept charging.
After all the chaos the guide informed us that it wasn’t the first time this bull charged him and he doesn’t know what the story is with this bull.
It was chaos and if it wasn’t for the guide with the right experience it could have been much worse!"

Re: Grumpy Rhino in Greater KNP
That rhino was very close to the vehicle a few times. Very strange for a white rhino to be so aggressive. And it's not the first time
Makes one wonder why
