Big herbivores!

Hippo showing a Cape Bull who's boss
Mother Rhino and Her Calf instigating a large Cape Bull Looks like a White Rhino from the side profile, this gives you a good idea of how large a Big Bull Cape can be as well. A Rhino making sure the Lions get the picture 
Sometimes herbivores are bullies, here Gaur made his point clear. Poor tiger, but bulls can be bullies :)
This one for sure doesn´t need to care about it, what other animals think, do or like... :)
There are many shepherd dogs, but to be a rhino shepherd demands a little bit more....

There are many encounters and video footage. In some rhinos try to use horn so, that thrusting horn upwords too. Looks like to be so, that more younger and inexperienced elephant is, it is more possbile, that elephant is less aggressive and can even back off.Younger has shorter tusks after all.. African elephant then again is clearly bigger, than Asian, so that might be the reason if Asian elephant isn´t as eager to disturb rhinos. But for instance those tusks, which that one elephant had in my earlier posting.... it could push over any rhino without danger, if charging.
Gaurs defending themselves here in pack. Interesting to hear their voice clearly, when they chase tiger away.
One more about gaurs, they for sure don´t like tigers if noticing some nearby. First video is still photos with explanation about events. Text at 1:49 is funny, reminded me about my cat, who banged his head on bookshelf by accident
 Second is short video, where you can see same situation.(01-08-2019, 04:35 AM)Pckts Wrote: Hippo showing a Cape Bull who's boss Btw here is whole situation with that rhino and lions and hyenas. Lions killed calf of this rhino and in that short clip is part of what happened. Here is all what happened and how it ended. That calf ended up to be lion meal after all. But that rhino mother for sure tried. 
Massive Banteng bull!

This is one short clip about elephant(s) and actually quite interesting to listen what these people are talking. Tourism, when too much, can cause problems, if people don´t understand animal behavior, what needs to be considered, it can lead to odd behavior. And nothing wrong with animal, just too many tourists hanging around all the time.
