Wildlife is incredible and full of surprises. Wild animals including herbivores and carnivores share the same habitat with their own set of rules. Carnivores hunt down other animals to satiate their hunger and lions are known to be the king of the forest and fierce predators. But, there are instances when these ferocious and vicious beings step behind and run away from certain animals.
Here we bring one such video that will confirm that even the ‘King of Forest’ avoids messing with Rhinoceros.

In the video, two rhinoceros are seen walking on a passage while two male lions can be seen resting on the roadside. Suddenly, both the lions stand up and start moving away from the approaching rhinos.
As the rhinos come closer, the lions take a sideway and walk into the grassland. The rhinos as well as the lions seem not to be in a mood to lock horns and stop for a moment. But, as the rhinos take their steps ahead, the lions walk into the forest avoiding any trouble. The rhinos even stop for a moment and walk on their way.
Rhinos are quite reasonable but are distrustful of strangers. They don’t allow anything to stand in their way and can instantly lose their cool when they feel insecure and threatened. This could be the possible reason why both the lions got out of the way of the approaching rhinos.
