Clearly a great spectacle to watch. I doubt that a healthy adult rhino will be too fussed about lions. This one walked through the middle of the pride without a care in the world

Rhinoceroses are large, thick skinned animals that can grow to be between 3 and a half feet to 6 and half feet tall at the shoulder and they can weigh between 1 – 2 tons. A rhinos skin is around 1.5 – 5 centimetres thick and is formed from layers of collagen (the main protein of connective tissue in animals and the most abundant protein in mammals), positioned in a lattice structure (crisscrossed framework).

I didn't know this fact before. It's good fact and I think monkeys are most intelligent creation rather then Human.
