Viral videos posted online show rhinos aggressively chasing visitors in Indian safari parks as drivers try their best to outrun the beasts.
In the first video, filmed on December 30, 2022, a rhino in Manas National Park in Assam, India, charged at tourists while they were in a forested area. The video begins with tourists in a different car filming the rhino chasing them before moving into the same vehicle that the rhino is chasing.
From there, the intense video captures half a minute of what would end up being a half-mile chase. Tourists can be heard shouting throughout the video, urging the driver to pick up pace as the rhino remains very close to the vehicle during filming.
The rhino eventually got fed up and the tourists were able to speed away, leaving the animal behind.

Videos of aggressive rhino behavior can occasionally surface online, such as in February 2022 when a safari guide in South Africa had to take cover in a tree as a rhino tried to catch up with him. A research group had tranquilized and collared the rhino, but when it woke up it began to chase the guide and crew.
