A rhinoceros can be an equal-opportunity attacker - it does not discriminate.
It can attack anybody.
Anything that moves (too close to his proximity).
If it's a Land Rover, it'll make it a Land Roll-over.
If it's a whole damn moving train, it can attack it head-on - there were such cases.
Guess who won?
"The White or Square-lipped Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) is, after the elephant, the most massive remaining land animal in the world, along with the Indian Rhinoceros and the hippopotamus, which are of comparable size.
There are two subspecies of White Rhinos; as of 2005, South Africa has the most of the first subspecies, the Southern White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum simum).
The population of Southern White Rhinos is about 14,500, making them the most abundant subspecies of rhino in the world.
However, the population of the second subspecies, the critically endangered Northern White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum cottoni), is down to as few as four individuals in the wild, and as of June 2008 this sub-species are thought to have become extinct in the wild.[7]
Six are known to be held in captivity, two of which reside in a zoo in San Diego.
There are currently four that were in held in captivity since 1982 in a zoo in the Czech Republic which were transferred to a wildlife refuge in Kenya in December 2009, in an effort to have the animals reproduce and save the subspecies.[8]"
"White Rhinoceros range (brown - native, pink - reintroduced, red - inroduced)"
My comment: even Wikipedia contributors can make mistakes, including typos, despite presumed multiple layers of editors.
Editing is fun (for me). :)
The word inroduced does NOT refer to the rhino..."making inroads", or something.
It's just a tiny mistake, inTroduced and left there, uncaught. :)
"Swaziland, officially the Kingdom of Swaziland (Umbuso weSwatini), and sometimes called Ngwane or Swatini, is a landlocked country in Southern Africa, bordered to the north, south and west by South Africa, and to the east by Mozambique.
The nation, as well as its people, are named after the 19th century king Mswati II."
"Swaziland's economy is dominated by the service industry, manufacturing and agriculture.
Some 75% of the population are employed in subsistence farming, and 60% of the population live on less than the equivalent of US$1.25 per day.[3]
Swaziland's main trading partner is South Africa, and its currency is pegged to the South African rand. Swaziland's economic growth and societal integrity is highly endangered by its disastrous HIV epidemic, to an extent where the United Nations Development Program has written that if it continues unabated, the "longer term existence of Swaziland as a country will be seriously threatened."[4]
The infection rate in the country is unprecedented and the highest in the world at 26.1% of adults[5] and over 50% of adults in their 20s.[4]"
