Two Rhinoceroses at the Jaldapara
National Park in the state of West Bengal, India reportedly attacked and killed
a female Rhinoceros for refusing to mate with any of them.
According to reports, the female Rhino that lost her calf just
days before the incident was attacked in a display of territorial dominance
after it rejected forceful mating attempts from the bull Rhinos. The female
rhino died after being pierced several times by the males with their huge horns
and sharp teeth. All attempts to stop the attack by the ranger in the area were
futile. Experts stated that the attack had more to do with the female searching for food in the males’ territory and this is usually common during summer when food is hard to come by.
