Rhino Road Rage

This is the terrifying moment an angry rhino suffered a serious case of road rage - and charged straight into a group of tourists trapped inside a car.

Footage of the remarkable incident shows the animal first taking an unusual interest in the Toyota truck parked on a dusty road next to its grassland home.

But this interest quickly turns sinister when the rhino starts trotting towards the jeep - before breaking into a full sprint and ramming it as a group of horrified tourists cower inside.

The footage was taken in Etosha National Park in Namibia by Alexandra Poier, who was sitting inside a nearby car at the time.

The 48-year-old said the group of tourists inside the car escaped from the vehicle unhurt.

The black rhinoceros, which inhabits areas across southern and eastern Africa, is considered endangered and an unknown number of the animals live in the 8,600 sq m Etosha National Park.

Weighing up to 3,100lbs and with an ability to charge at 35mph, they are notorious for their aggression and willingness to run at any object that is unfamiliar.
