South Africa amused by rhino attack

Online users cracked jokes about the way all the professionals took off running during the rhino attack. Viewers picked who was their favourite among the crowd that ran away. According to the International Rhino Foundation, rhinos rarely attack people. They also defend themselves with their teeth when facing predators or other rhinos. Instead, humans are the bigger threat to rhinos, with many rhino species being critically endangered. Watch the video of the rhino and read people's commentary below:
