Road block! Wild rhino wanders into traffic
- 6 years ago
Drivers were stunned recently in Nepal when a wild rhinoceros sauntered into the road and blocked traffic.
A remarkable video showed the hefty creature strolling in front of cars in a residential area of Sauraha Chitwan on August 8.
"This rhino was friendly and many local people and tourists took photos and selfies," said the filmer.
The Indian rhinoceros is listed as "vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List.
The animal's once huge range has been reduced drastically by hunting and agriculture to just 11 sites in northern India and southern Nepal.
