A baby rhino managed to miraculously survive after a cruel adult launched an unprovoked attack by flipping it in the air and trying to kill it.
The young rhino and its mother at the Madikwe Game Reserve in South Africa who were grazing on the land
The mother, who had tried to hold her own against the bully, was left to watch as the full grown male turned his attentions towards her calf.
Helpless against such a brute, the young calf could do nothing but run as the male rhino came hurdling towards her.
The cruel adult flipped the rhino calf into the air as he attempted to kill the female animal
The calf could do nothing as she was flipped in the air and rammed repeatedly with the male’s horn
Mr Garrun added: ‘he male started chasing the calf and it took a few seconds for him to reach her. The calf was crying with fear and the mother could not help her in any way.’
The calf was left laying motionless on the ground but miraculously after a few minutes, he began to move again
A few tense moments passed as the calf, which was laying on the ground motionless, seemed to have succumbed to its injuries. Then, miraculously it started to move.
