Despite the large difference in size and weight, where the rhinoceros approaches two and a half tons, compared to about 700 kilograms for the buffalo, the latter proved to be an uneasy opponent.
The Kariga Sanctuary, which witnessed the incident, posted the video on Facebook, commenting: “The amazing strength of the two animals is visible here, and also the stubborn nature of the buffalo. The scene was completed by a wonderful comment from the visitors.”
In the unique shots, several other wild buffalo gather around the battle as if waiting for the winner, while a female rhinoceros and her calf watches from a safe distance.
The reserve described what the regiment witnessed as an “extremely rare sight”, as the two animals do not usually face each other.
