Original text on this topic:
A herd of 38 African Elephant, with numerous youngsters, were feeding alongside a group of five Giraffe. The Black Rhino then came running from a nearby Croton thicket, as though it was being pursued. It came to within about 50m of the elephant and giraffe before coming to a halt. An adult female giraffe then walked towards the rhino, apparently very inquisitive. When the rhino picked up its head and stomped a few paces in the direction of the giraffe, it cantered off, with the other four giraffe on its heels.
