animals Elephant And Rhino Smackdown

[CrabCoreKing]

I'm impressed with how the bull Elephant clearly knew the right strategy to avoid being gouged by that enormous horn. It allowed the Rhino to get close, gets round the side and effortlessly pushes it over through sheer mass. While down and vulnerable he mortally wounds it in the abdomen with his tusk. A wound easily more than a foot deep that would have ruptured multiple organs and blood vessels. Fatal for sure.

What kills me is when these animal rights activists are selective when it comes to helping and not helping animals. A beached dolphin? Get him back in the water! Nope! Can’t let mother-nature take her course! A lion killing a baby elephant? Oh well, that’s just mother nature taking its course. The circle of life type bullshit.

Isn't putting 'ass' and 'rhino' together somewhat of a tautology?

(ass... donkey... horse...)

But great come back! thanks!

Here's another rhino getting drilled:

I noticed in the original post that the rhino attacks the underside of the elephant with some vicious upward thrusts of its horn. I'm sure there are cases where they get the elephants throat with it.


You'd think that vegetarians like rhinos and elephants could happily coexist. I've seen clips of rhinos versus hippos. Better, more even match in my opinion...

Elephant don't know whether to fuck it or kill it... But than again, why not both?

Yes. The rhino, bar intervention of specialist vets with mega fauna operating theatre and massive doses of anti biotics, if suffering from a perferated abdomen with God knows what internal injuries.

You can see the blood all over the elephant's trunk and side of face. The tusks, whilst not long, went in full deapth.

You can also see the puncture wounds on the rhino's side. He will run until he calms down, then rest and stiffen up and then get septic and die.

the blood patch on the rhino appears to be a lot larger once it runs back into frame at the end. The tusks may have ruptured a major blood vessel...

If you notice the way the elephant pushed his tusks in and then moved them around, as well as the rhino squirming about to get off them, then the internal injuries will be much greater than the visible wound.

Was it blood though? Being a male elephant, they secrete fluid when it's rutting time. What was he protecting and why was there a power pole with a spot light on it? Where was this, I wonder.
Rhinos don't typically challenge a male elephant that obviously was standing it's ground. Did the elephant do something to the rhinos baby, was the rhino a male or female?

Many questions, need more info.
Elephant definitely sunk the tusks, no doubt on that when it went to it's knees using full weight. Surprised the rhino managed to run away.

That whole video and not one "crikey!"

 

[Interregnum]

Rhinos are badass, but not that badass

a real philosopher right here

 

[lovestruck]

The elephant is strutting for the camera after that smack down.

 

[dwdays]

Size matters. Elephant is H.M.F.I.C. I do like Rhinos though.
