Indian Rhino |

Most of the wild animals of India, usually run away from danger and conceal themselves in thick cover but the rhino does the opposite. It continues grazing till danger is rather close, and then, instead of retreating and taking over it exposes itself still more, by charging. This peculiar habit helps the poachers to shoot at close range with country made lead bullets or with high powered rifles fitted with a telescope.
