Viral video shows a stray dog's unlikely encounter with a rhino.
Videos of interaction between two different species of animals are always intriguing to watch. One such clip has gone viral that shows a stray dog's unlikely encounter with a rhinoceros.
Uploaded by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda on Twitter, the clip shows a Rhino casually strolling along a road when it comes across a stray dog sleeping on the roadside. While one would expect the rhino to act aggressively, the massive animal instead gently nudges the dog while trying to smell it. The dog, who wakes up to the sight of the rhino, gets frightened and immediately flees the spot.
“If you wanted any proof that the Rhinos are really gentle,” the officer wrote.
At the time of writing this, the video collected more than 34k views on Twitter and elicited amusing reactions from users.
“Fantastic creation of the almighty, especially when it is in a normal mood. This vegetarian giant also has a tender heart towards other living beings of lesser size. The licking of the sleeping dog demonstrates this,” a user wrote.
One asked how the dog could not sense the massive animal approaching him.
“Still, hard to come to terms with seeing a rhino staring at you from 6 inches away first thing in the morning when you wake up,” a comment read.
Many empathised with the dog who was evidently shocked to see the rhino so close to him.
“Nightmare for the dog,” a person wrote.
Another said, “poor doggy”.
“Heart in the mouth,” a reaction read.
Some seemed puzzled to see the rhino casually taking a walk in what appeared to be a residential area.
One suggested that not all rhinos are as gentle as the one seen in the clip.
Another person wrote, “Hahahaha I don't think that there's anything gentle about them, they are wild animals and can quickly turn ugly with them.”
