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).

Nice interactions! As graham says, the adults are generally ok!

The impala manages to swim very fast with those thin legs

Samango Monkeys are more arboreal then Vervets and therefore tend to be more agile when moving from tree to tree. They use their tails for balance when making large leaps across wide openings in the forest.
I didn't know this fact before. It's good fact and I think monkeys are most intelligent creation rather then Human.
