There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Maximum size of prey that a single male lion or tiger can kill

@Dark Jaguar , the African and Indian rhino species are both aggressive. It’s a common characteristic attributed to their poor eyesight (they can’t see past 40 metres), which means they have incredible hearing. One of the best in mammalian kingdom, in fact. So, the aggressiveness is borne out of being defensive and protective.

The differences as @GuateGojira pointed out is horns and incisors as mode of attack. Another difference is their surroundings. You will see a rhino charging in Africa for a mile, but, in Kaziranga, amongst the elephant grass, it is tough to spot an elephant even 50 metres away!!!

Kaziranga national park has a compulsory policy of an armed guard in every tour jeep who shoot at rhino’s feet when they charge. And, it is very common to get charged at by a rhino in Kaziranga especially in the mating season or by a mother with a young. Plus, they can run at 55 km/hr!














The last video gives you the sense of the thick vegetation where an animal weighing over 2 tons can disappear 20 feet from your eyes. Also, the guard shoots at the ground to deter them from charging.
