An elephant attacked a rhinoceros that had climbed into a pond

Footage of a rare confrontation between an elephant and a rhinoceros was captured in the Sabi Sand National Reserve (Kruger Park, South Africa).

Representatives of the African fauna, usually avoiding direct confrontation and possessing deadly weapons, recently did not share a muddy pond.

The elephant tried to mount its competitor and for several minutes made efforts to expel the rhinoceros that had occupied the puddle, but ultimately had to come to terms with the presence of the equid mammal on its territory.
