Black Rhino |

In late February 2000, the Kichwa lion pride were seen feeding on a zebra. Suddenly they were attacked by the aggressive black rhino which was hidden in a thicket. The rhino rushed to the scene, forcing the pride to scatter and nearly stamping on one of the cubs. Some of the lions retreated up trees, while others kept their distance from the enraged rhino, not wanting to relinquish their half-eaten meal. After about an hour of holding its ground, the rhino lost interest and ambled off, allowing the lions to return to their prey.
