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.

Even in roman games, this rhino was famous for flinging away bears in combat i am sorry to say like this but i am saying fact. No offense here. The base of their horns is very strong that it can bring down sometimes bigger plants and even some small trees with the help of horns. It truely is a magnificent animal. I think with his horn he will defeat the hippos before the hippo can deliver a fatal bite to him IMO.
I know it's true parvez. It's all in the book: THE BEAR - History of a Fallen King by Michel Pastoureau.
There is a chapter all about the Roman Circus Games. Pitting a bear ( grizzly ) against a rhinoceros was a one-time event. It went very poorly for the bear indeed.
