A hungry wild boar approaching a rhinoceros’s meal was sent flying into the air, landing painfully.
A shocking video captures the moment a wild boar is punished by a rhinoceros for daring to compete for its food, leaving viewers astonished by the rhino’s aggressive behavior.
The video begins with a rhinoceros engrossed in enjoying a pile of dry grass when suddenly, two wild boars creep in to contest the meal.
The rhinoceros immediately shows its displeasure by directing its horn towards the “intruder.” However, the boar ignores this warning and continues to graze as if nothing is amiss.
In a surprising move, the rhinoceros lowers its head and then uses its horn to hurl the unfortunate animal into the air about 4 meters, resulting in a painful landing.
It is evident that despite its seemingly gentle appearance, the black rhinoceros is classified among the most aggressive animals in the world.
According to scientists, one reason the black rhinoceros is extremely dangerous is its poor eyesight. This makes it nearly impossible for the rhinoceros to distinguish threats and rivals, leading it to attack anything that approaches and makes it feel endangered.

The rhinoceros is a mammal belonging to the odd-toed ungulate order, living in eastern and central Africa, including Kenya, Tanzania, Cameroon, South Africa, Namibia, and Zimbabwe.
An adult black rhinoceros stands about 1.5 meters tall at the shoulder and measures approximately 3 to 3.65 meters in length. Adult rhinoceroses weigh between 450 to 1360 kg, with females being smaller and lighter.
The rhinoceros is the second-largest land herbivore, following elephants. In addition to their massive size, they also possess incredibly thick skin, likened to a living tank.
Their weapons are the pair of horns on their snouts, with the front horn being larger and reaching up to 71 cm in length. When attacking, rhinoceroses typically lower their heads and charge forward, using their horns to push opponents back or toss them into the air.
