Black Rhino |

As soon as a rhino hears even the slightest noise, it will run away. The animal therefore is shy rather than aggressive. Often, when it smells people in the vicinity, the rhino will run towards the site of danger, what however is not to be seen as an aggressive movement. Sometimes it will actually attack in dense thornbush, and the same behavior can be seen in a wounded animal. Attack is done with a raised head and tail with much noise.
