A brutal rhino fight has been caught on film in the Kruger National Park (featuring a cameo appearance by a hippo which escapes as fast as it can!).

The video was uploaded today by YouTube user Kruger National Park.

Susan Meyer, who filmed the footage, said it was their first sighting of the day and they were the first on the scene.

“We came across two rhinos which seemed to be fighting, and the one was lying on the ground while the other one was constantly stabbing it with its horn,” she said.

“This was quite disturbing to see as you can imagine and at one stage we thought that the one was going to be killed for sure.

“The injured rhino eventually had a chance to get up and tried to escape but the other rhino chased him.

“They ended up in a small pond and to our surprise there was a hippo who quickly realised that it would be better to find a different pond to relax in.

“The rhinos were exhausted and seemed like they didn’t have any energy left to continue their scuffle.

“The whole ordeal was quite traumatic to see and I really hope that I never have to witness anything like this again. The screams of the injured rhino was a horrible sound to witness.”
