Giant rhino stabs lion with its horn – Giant rhino nearly stabs lion with its horn in video going viral in South Africa

A video of a massive rhino fighting off three lions has captivated the internet.

The encounter, recorded in South Africa’s Sanbona Wildlife Sanctuary, revealed the rhino’s unexpected superiority over three predators.

Jordan Davidson, a safari guide with years of touring experience, was giving tourists a taste of the wilderness when they witnessed this unusual sight and later shared video of the encounter with Latest Sightings.

Three lions (two females and one male) were lounging in the sun, seemingly undisturbed by a huge rhino grazing nearby. What started as a peaceful scene turned into something more violent when the rhino came too close for comfort.

Davidson described the tense moment: “Everything seemed in place for another typical, fantastic lion sighting. A rhino came into the picture looking for fresh grass to graze on. “Nothing had happened, just the size of the rhino and the presence of the two species together made it all very exciting.”

Realizing its proximity, the rhino immediately adopted a defensive stance, ready to counter any threat.

Seizing the opportunity, the second lioness tried to pass by the rhino. But the situation quickly changed as the rhino returned. The lioness soon realized that she was outmatched and gave up pursuit.

That’s when the lion tried to fight the rhino head-on. The rhino lunged twice, its sharp horn inches away from the lion.

However, after doing all he could, the rhino retreated into the bush.

Davidson described it as one of the “craziest rhino-lion encounters” he had ever witnessed.

The video is a reminder that even the most dominant hunters sometimes back down when faced with a formidable opponent like a “car-sized” rhino.
