Rhino and Elephant interactions
S1 • E31 Aug 1, 2008
Elephants are not only the largest land mammals they are also one of the most powerful. Fortunately, under normal circumstances, elephants are quite placid creatures only using their power aggressively when threatened or to defend themselves. In the early 90s however, Elephants in the Kruger National Park started killing Rhinos for no apparent reason. This unusual behaviour, however, was brought on by instability in their herd numbers due to the annual Kruger cull.
