It seems some rhinos if it gets annoyed by constantly being followed can charge elephants too, primary mode of safari in Kaziranga. Opens it's mouth and just keeps coming.watch

It would be interesting to know, what elephant thinks in that kind of situation. I mean so many people on back of it, then that big opponent charging. Does it try to avoid dropping people in some way or is it totally in "survival mode" :) Of course it has to move in some way, it can´t just stand still. Well, looks like that no-one got hurt too badly.

Standing still is exactly what is trained to do. 

The rhino reacts by stopping and/or veering away to a side... Every. Single. Time.

Ok, that was interesting to hear. I have this image of rhinos attacking cars from documentaries. But of course car is car and also all of those documentaries have been about African rhinos :)

Like this one here. But actually I don´t remember anything similar what comes to elephants even from Africa now when trying to remember.
