A frightening video has gone viral on social media, showing a furious wild rhino attacking a tourist vehicle and nearly overturning it. The incident was recorded in the Salbari Range at Manas National Park in Assam on Thursday.
There were no injuries reported however, it caused fear amongst the group of tourists that were attacked.
In the video, the rhino can be seen approaching the jeep, which had stopped on a forest path. The animal repeatedly tries to flip the vehicle.
Few minutes later, a couple of men were seen chasing the rhino away.
During the monsoon season, rhinos often leave their natural habitat seeking refugee from flooded areas and to find better grazing spots. This increases the chances of human-wildlife conflict . Many social media users have raised concerns about the safety of using open jeeps in such areas.
There have been frequent rhino attacks on humans but the exact reason behind their aggression is unknown.
