In the viral video, a stray dog is seen meeting a rhinoceros.
Videos of interactions between two different species of animals are always worth watching. One such clip has gone viral in which a stray dog is seen meeting a rhinoceros.
The clip, uploaded on Twitter by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Sushant Nanda, shows a rhinoceros casually strolling down a road when it spots a stray dog sleeping by the side of the road. While one would expect the rhino to act aggressively, the massive animal gently nudges the dog while trying to smell it. The dog waking up on seeing the rhinoceros gets scared and immediately runs away from the spot.
“If you want any proof that rhinos are really gentle,” wrote the officer.

One asked how the dog could not feel the huge animal approaching him.

One suggested that not all rhinos are as gentle as those seen in the clip.
And they can be gentle there in Africa.

Another person wrote, “Hahahaha I don’t think there is anything gentle in them, they are wild animals and can get ugly with them quickly.”
