VIDEO: Elephant Tricks Rhino

There are always fights happening in the wild.

Animals fight for supremacy and for survival – they must establish territories and provide food for themselves.

This footage captured a fiery battle between an elephant and a rhino.

Keep in mind that elephants are quite smart!

According to Wikipedia, elephants are large mammals of the family Elephantidae and the order Proboscidea. Three species are recognised, the African bush elephant, the African forest elephant, and the Asian elephant. Elephants are scattered throughout sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia.

Females tend to live in family groups, which can consist of one female with her calves or several related females with offspring.

The groups are led by an individual known as the matriarch, often the oldest cow. Elephants have a fission–fusion society in which multiple family groups come together to socialise. Males leave their family groups when they reach puberty and may live alone or with other males.

Adult bulls mostly interact with family groups when looking for a mate and enter a state of increased testosterone and aggression known as musth, which helps them gain dominance and reproductive success. Calves are the centre of attention in their family groups and rely on their mothers for as long as three years.

Elephants can live up to 70 years in the wild. They communicate by touch, sight, smell, and sound; elephants use infrasound, and seismic communication over long distances. Elephant intelligence has been compared with that of primates and cetaceans. They appear to have self-awareness and show empathy for dying or dead individuals of their kind.

According to Live Science, rhinoceroses are large, herbivorous mammals identified by their characteristic horned snouts. There are five species and 11 subspecies of rhino; some have two horns, while others have one.

Because the animals’ horns are used in folk medicine for their supposed healing properties, rhinos have been hunted nearly to extinction. Their horns are sometimes sold as trophies or decorations, but more often they are ground up and used in traditional Chinese medicine.

The powder is often added to food or brewed in a tea in the belief that the horns are a powerful aphrodisiac, a hangover cure and treatment for fever, rheumatism, gout and other disorders.

Save the Rhino estimates that there were 500,000 rhinos across Africa and Asia at the beginning of the 20th century.

Today, the group says, there are 29,000 rhinos in the wild. Poaching and loss of habitat have put all rhino species in danger of extinction.

In 2009, four northern white rhinos were moved from a zoo in the Czech Republic to a private conservancy in Kenya in the hope that they would breed, according to the IUCN.

On Oct. 18, 2014, Ol Pejeta Conservancy announced that one of them, one of the last two breeding males, had died. He was not a victim of poaching, however, and the conservancy was investigating the cause of death.

There are now only three northern white rhinos left in the world, all living in captivity, according to the World Wildlife Fund. The captive northern white rhinos include a male (named Sudan) and two females — Najin and Fatu — all of which live in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya.
