We all know how dangerous rhinos can be. Encountering one up close poses a serious risk, which is why safari operators keep a safe distance when spotting a rhino in the wild. But imagine the chaos if a rhino enters a town where no safari guides or security measures are in place. A recent viral video shows exactly that with a rhino wandering through an urban area, causing fear and panic as it moves through the streets.

In the video, the rhino emerges from the bushes and rushes towards a man on a bicycle. Meanwhile, the man runs back into the jungle, letting the rhino knock over his bike, which falls to the ground. People on the road begin to run away in fear, as the rhino begins to wander, creating panic wherever it passes.

The video went viral from the account with the handle @janakbasnet65 with the caption Rhino terror. It has garnered 26.7 million views and 79.7k likes. Many people shared their comments in the comments section. Many users shared their puzzlement in the comments section, while many shared sarcastic comments. One user commented with laughing emojis: “The cameraman never dies,” while another user commented: “Video is more important than life.”

On a related note, a motorcyclist in Assam was killed after being attacked by a rhino near Pobitora wildlife sanctuary in Morigaon district. The victim was a 37-year-old man named Saddam Hussain from Kamrup Metropolitan District, who was riding his motorbike when the rhino came out of the sanctuary. In the video, the man was seen abandoning his bike and fleeing into an open field as the rhino chased him. Residents shouted to scare away the animal, which can weigh up to 2,800 kilograms and run at speeds of up to 55 kilometers per hour. Hussain was later found on the field with serious head injuries.
