Though all animals are not aggressive, they are bound to remain protective. Have you ever encountered any wild animal while either in a safari or reserve or in an open forest ?

Rhinoceros are quite protective and prefer roaming unhindered and undisturbed. They are rarely aggressive if unprovoked. They charge to defend themselves when they perceive a threat. Though different efforts and initiatives have been taken by the government to preserve wild animals, they are under threat due to rampant poaching.
