- Watch this incredible battle between a Rhino Calf, its mother and a pride of lions. The ending will surprise you. #rhino #lions #battle #survival #predator #fight #encounter #safari #wildlife #lion #nature #wildestafrica
Despite being outnumbered and facing formidable opponents, she stands her ground, using her massive size and formidable horn to protect her offspring.
Meanwhile, the young rhino calf, although smaller and less experienced, shows remarkable determination as it charges towards the lions, ready to defend itself alongside its mother. This display of courage from both mother and calf highlights the resilience and strength inherent in these magnificent creatures.
Such encounters remind us of the harsh realities of the animal kingdom, where survival often depends on the ability to fend off threats from predators. It’s a testament to the bond between mother and offspring and the instinctual drive to protect and ensure the survival of the next generation.
Such an absolute privilege to have witnessed this once in a lifetime sighting, and phenomenal capture 😮
Truly spectacular an experience that will surely live a lifetime 🙏
Congrats Guys 🎉
My friend, I wish you could’ve done the write up for our description of this video. Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and apt description of the events which unfolded. As you mentioned, we were really blessed to be able to experience something as dramatic as this was and certainly as you mentioned, nature at its most brutal. The highlight of this for Kerry and I was being involved in the intervention; to be able to be so close to the young calf was special and even though our involvement was minimal it will be an event which will certainly stick with us for life.
Wel i see a mother who isnt doing much to protect her young..wich is strange bcs normaly the lions would'nt come close knowing momma wil kill them.
In this case, when we darted the mother. It was found she was carrying an infection which is why her response to the lions was so subdued.
The mother was wick
Ok she was very sick
I believe in this instance, because the Rhino is an endangered species, human intervention to save the baby is the right thing to do here. Just my observation.
Fully agree with your sentiment. Us as humans have been the cause of their endangered status and for the serious decline in numbers and therefore where we can, we should intervene and assist. The intervention took place two days after the event and therefore the lions were not negatively impacted. It’s a win win situation in my opinion 💪
They will make video
I concur entirely
nature (humans) helping nature (rhinos). I don't see the conflict what so ever. Now maybe that changes if that was the only meat for the last few lions.
Yes I think the same way
Fantastic that they looked after the calf, treating the wounds, as it should be for such an endangered animal. Well done!
Agreed and thank you John 💪🙏
❤😮😮😮❤❤❤
Yes, humans have to intervene because other humans have endangered this species . Plus, I don't think those Lions are an endangered species .

To the people who stepped in to help the baby rhino and the mom - you just gave me hope for humanity!!!! Thank goodness for good people - may you outlive the sun in greatest of health and merriment having boundless if resources to continue to do good 👍🏽
Thank you for your kind words 😄. The scientific team and the research team as well as the vet deserve all the credit for their actions. We humans have had such a negative impact on the overall Rhino population that a small win like this is massive and certainly the right thing to do 😄
Smart mom. she knows that she can't panic or they get the kid. She was cool as a cucumber ; )

No, you can read in an answer that the mother had an infection from birthing the calve. So she ran in economy mode.
@@Ernesto5358⛑️🇨🇭Da suisa 👍👍👍👍😋😍😍😝🥰🤩❤️
Well said! Was thinking the same
Or, or, she realizes that she is bigger and the calf can handle his own. There is a reason six lions wont run into a fight with something that has a horn that can stab them
This baby is a brave and intelligent one. Mom also very cool in this situation without panicking. Thank you , human interaction was necessary to save this precious Rhino baby.
Agreed, its incredible to watch something so small, bravely take on these lions 🙌 It certainly saved his life and bought him enough time for the zebras to come on to the scene to distract the lionesses.
At that age, baby doesn’t realise the danger
I’m so happy you guys intervene thank you
they should not.

I'm surprised the mother rhino was not more aggressive towards the lions
Unfortunately we only found out during the intervention that she was carrying an intervention from birthing the calf. This is what made her response lethargic. Whilst watching this incident I too was equally as confused by her lack of response but it made sense afterwards.

We are so glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for watching. On a personal note, and as I’m sure you felt as well, it was an extremely emotional event. The work of the scientific team and the vet and his understudies was remarkable. In all about 30 people were involved in various ways and it was such a positive outcome for such a deserving young calf.
Not too many rhinos left, that’s why!!!
🌈🌈🌈That is a white rhino. The last time I checked, the black rhino is extinct in the wild except probably in captivity. Black rhinos are more aggressive. 🌈🌈🌈
Poachers also.
They acted like they knew just how dangerous she can be. I love nature. It's the one honest thing that we have left.
Fully agreed, nature is an incredible privilege which we all get to share 🙌
Africa the symbol of life ❤🎉

The baby Rhino did very well, reacting quickly when he saw the lion attack. A mother protects her child wonderfully
It’s incredible that at probably 1.5 weeks old, he had the audacity to charge that lioness. Her ego definitely took a knock in that moment.
@@KrugerGoneWildis the baby rhino doing better?
100%, the baby rhino survived this incident 💪
Incredible footage! What a brave lil baby. I hope he has a long healthy happy life. Love my cats, but they need to leave the baby rhi rhi's alone. Yikes! Thanks so much for sharing. :)
Nature is harsh, but the calf's bravery was inspiring.
Fully agreed, it’s an incredible feat of determination and instinct to fight to survive. The fact that he survived that attack is truly incredible.
Animals are more honest than people. Just think about that for a minute.
Faster recovery baby❤❤ I loves much this mystery creature 😊😊
Literally the calf is brave than the lion pride. I shocked how calm the rhino is keeping.... ❤
That little calf is going to grow up to be a beast of a bull rhino ❤️💪 It’s truly incredible the will to survive he showed in that face of those lions.
It's wonderful that finally saved the little Hero ❤❤
Fully agree, he really was a hero 😄🏅
Crazy the bravest little thing in the wild that would buck back at a lion. Then humans intervene because it was too brave. Damn

Its really needed to intervene in case of species which are near to extinct. Babies and mothers in all cases should be protected. Its the duty and responsiblity of forest officers and department. If there is no law there is a need to make such law
Hence the intervention which took place. Had this not been a critically endangered animal (caused by humans and specifically poaching) we would’ve let nature take its course.
Mom braught her baby to the training classes 😂
The cameraman never dies😂😂😂😂😂😂
Rhino : come on baby :)
He’s an absolute champion 💪
Finally a great feel good video
What a Unicorn! 😮
We have the duty to protect against form😂
honestly speaking, the mother apppears to be sick, a truly health rinho is super protective and not easy to mess with even the lions know it, but somehow they can sense the mother is isn't showing much interest
You are 100% correct. The mother was found to be carrying an infection from birthing the calf when we did the intervention. She was treated as well.
Fantastic.
Tous deux ont été très sages et intelligents ❤
Thanks. ✌🏻👊🏼
Mother teaching him how to fight back
Lol
mother has poor eyesight and was sick. normally she'd chase those lions away.
My God, what I stumbled onto! I would say the calf, along with the humans at the end, saved himself. Surprising behavior on the mother's part. A new mother? Good God. Tense.
I can't believe my eye a pride of lion not able to attack this really shows Rhino is not an easy prey. Nature is fantastic.
Have to admire the boldness of those lions, that rhino would destroy them with one swift swipe of the horn.
@lordbottaro5449. What's bold when NONE of the lions tried to distract the mother given how much of them there was ? what's bold when an adult lioness showed fear or a tiny calf ? look at the distance sometimes between calf & mother & yet they failed, those coward clumsy lions all put together don't even have the brain power of that lil rhino calf.😂
Are you for real? A lumbering Rhino couldn't defend this calf against a pride of lions in a hundred years. They would simply wear the calf down over a few hours. It was only human intervention that saved it.
@@kingy002Thanks for your input, Attenborough.
Thanks for your input, Attenborough. 😂
@@shubhodeepmitra5505 It was quite a good response, eh.
Por fin hacen algo diferente por la naturaleza que no sea crueldad en videos
Great video. Mother rhino staying very calm. Why the intervention of guards on the mother rhino in the end, what for?
Thank you. Great question, unfortunately she was carrying an infection which made her response to the Lions very lethargic. This was from birthing the calf. The decision was made to give her a cocktail of meds whilst the Calf was treated just to help her regain her strength faster to ultimately be able to protect the calf.
@@KrugerGoneWildyes, I was a little confused as to the mother Rhino's lack of response to the obvious threat of lions all around. Your explanation definitely clears it up. Having any type of infection can definitely make an animal not as responsive. Glad they both got medical attention.
When it comes to rhinos
It is necessary help them in certain situations
@@davidsantossilvadavid6706agree 💯
@@KrugerGoneWildThanks for the explanation. I too was a bit puzzled as to why the mother was not reacting.
Right to live. Best support for the wildlife.
I noticed how the male lion just sat back and watched.....if the lions had caught/killed the calf he'd have rushed in and eaten it himself....
As is his right. He’s the one that keeps those females alive or hyenas would just be wiping out female lions left and right. When the males are away, hyenas will follow the pride of female lions and steal every prey they kill.
@@kevinmyers440 depende de las leonas que sean ignorante de la vida
He was looking out for his safet from the horn, and wanted to give the impression to the females that hes not hungry so they catch it
He didn't cause the rhino would have destroyed him if he would have make a dum move!
@@kevinmyers440Typical lame excuse for the USELESS thing.
Surprising when these power blocks are next to each other without conflict
I was wondering why mom was not reacting at all. From the comments I found out that she was sick. So baby had to defend himself on his own. …
100%. It was certainly an intriguing sighting. Regardless of the health of the mother, in reality, if the lions have the desire and the persistence, they could’ve worn her out in good or bad health. What’s amazing about this Pride is that it’s certainly a learnt and specialized behavior. We’ve seen it a number of times where the sub adults (they have almost reached adulthood in this video) have taunted and teased full grown rhino’s with zero chance of success whilst that male (who’s quite young himself) and his mother watches on. It’s a behavior which has started to pay off in circumstances like the above where mothers are isolated with new born calves. Fortunately in this case, a harem of zebra came from over the rise and the mother lioness turned her attention towards them instead. Had these lioness’s been fully grown I have no doubt that this calf wouldn’t have made it that day. It’s the lack of experience of the young lionesses and the unwillingness of the mother to potentially injure herself that most likely caused them to divert there attention. This allowed the Rhino’s enough time to move off. Ultimately though, the mother being sick certainly had a huge impact on this particular case.
@@KrugerGoneWild Wow! You are awesome. 💯👍
That mother seemed incredibly calm considering there were so many lions around her and the baby, it's like she hadn't really bonded with it. I hope the park rangers will keep a close eye on their future bearing in mind the decline of the rhino.
So unfortunately it was found during the intervention that the mother was carrying an infection from birthing the calf. Both the mother and calf were treated accordingly and in the days that followed the scientific team did indeed keep track of their progress to make sure all was fine.
Mom: Are you done playing with your lion toys? Let's go!
🤣🤣
Looks like it was a training lesson for the young cubs. Adult lion was not to active in the take down, maybe being cautious also. The Mother Rhino was calm and was saving her energy for when it was really needed. Lucky the assistance was there to protect the Baby Rhino, usually that is not the case. Most rangers do not like to intervene because they are in the wild and usually anything goes. Mother rhino was not to quick to defend the baby. Some animals are close to extinction, maybe that was the reason rangers assisted. Baby Rhino lived to see another day....let us all wish a long life for Momma and baby.
You are spot on in your observation regarding the mother of the sub adult females (I use the term sub adult loosely as they were around 2 at the time) and their 4 year old male older brother. However, what saved this rhino was a series of fortunate events where a harem of zebra came over a rise and distracted the lions for long enough for the mother rhino and her calf to move out of the area. Certainly, the decision was made by the scientific team to intervene due to the endangered status of rhino’s due to Rhino poaching. It was during this intervention that it was realized the mother was carrying an infection from birthing the calf which is why her response was so lethargic. Really appreciate your comment and input. Thank you 🙏
@@KrugerGoneWild Thank you for your added input with information we did not have. Be well...

Thank you. We need to protect these creatures. Stop nature @ this point. eleven fifty-five
Lions show the meaning of patience. “Oh, we’ll just lie down for a bit. While Rhino Mum seems more interested in gorging herself than stopping us dining on her baby…”
Haha, ya these lions definitely made a meal of this situation. They had the upper hand and fortunately they were then distracted by a harem of Zebra.
Mama was aware of the eminent danger facing her and her calf. She kept cool and calm as not cause a scene and initiate an emotional fight, which would most likely give the huge pride a higher hand. Her invisible worry was with her child.

Thank you my brother 🙏🏅
Just sent through my last comment right before your intervention. In a way glad to see but didn’t think this was condoned behaviour by wildlife park staff. Happy to see both baby and mother get a second chance and the lions should look for some other prey I hope 👍
Thank you so much for taking time to watch the entire video and your comments are certainly appreciated. I agree with you fully, I also believe that we let nature takes it course and that we don’t intervene unless the animal has been impacted through human element. However, due to the critically endangered status of Rhino’s, interventions in cases like this do occur and these decisions are made by the scientific team. The intervention took place two days after this incident so the lions weren’t impacted at all. Upon darting the mother, on assessment it was realized that she was actually carrying an infection from birthing the calf which is why her response to the lions looked extremely lethargic. Hope this helps your understanding of the video and the events which took place 🙏💪
OMG!!!!!! Please help and protect the baby and the mama from lions!!!!
Don't leave them alone what if the mama might be sick from her wounds and the lions come back?????!!!!
The scientific team and vet did intervene and assess and give appropriate care and meds to both the Mom and Calf. It was found on assessment during the intervention that the mother was carrying an infection from birthing the calf and this was treated as well.
@@KrugerGoneWild Thank you so much to kind-hearted scientific team and the veterinarians who helped this poor little family!!!🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️
Я за львов😊
They had every opportunity to take down this calf. They absolutely pawned it.
As long as the mother is there, lions have no chance
@jason not necessarily. It only takes a lion to jump on the back of the rhino and by distracting it, the other lions take the calf. Seen it happen in countless other videos such as elephants and buffalo. The mere distraction is normally enough.
@@967mviews2Well, elephants and buffalos aint Rhinos. There's a reason she's called a RHINO!

How did lions become so fearful of a rhino?
Brave Rhino and baby like Brave Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan
That implies that a mature Hippo one like this can be a scare to over seven lions including the male Lions
It’s a fair comment. In this case though the mom was suffering from an infection so she struggled to defend the calf. In terms of hippos, new born calf’s are equally at risk of predation however they don’t venture to far from water so incidents like that are not recorded very often as they return to the water when under threat. New born hippos are more at risk from dominant male hippos than other predators.
Interesting.
Very careless mother rhino towards the helpless baby😢😢😮😮
Nays dr
I love rhinos🦏. They are the only animal dare to attack even elephants.This little brave warrior is brave. And mom is their to help.
Good
Don't panic Mamma has a poker face. I'm confused though did they sudate her? Was she sick?
You are 100% correct. She was carrying an infection from birthing the calf. Over and above that, it would be almost impossible to isolate the calf without tranquillizing her.
@@KrugerGoneWild I'm glad you were able to help them!
They are in the endangered classification because of humans

wow awesome 😂
that's not a warthog, a huge difference!
Was that blood shown, on the baby Rhino? (almost at the end of the Video) 😢
Great question, it’s an anti septic which was applied into the puncture and surface wounds.
@@KrugerGoneWild I see, so sad that the Lions actually hurt it, I thought otherwise. I'm so glad that you guys intervened! Honestly, even if the mom wasn't "lethargic" I think it would have been good to step in, just b/c they are endangered. Such a magnificent animal.
@@gonicito - the mom was lethargic never seen a rhino mom that doesnt react to defend her youngster - quite unusual ...

When the baby is lying down with the guy filming with his phone with looks like a bandage, there seems to be a black fury thing moving on his , is it his neck. I don’t know but maybe I’m going mad? Subscribed by the way. Never knew this channel existed
Thank you so much for subscribing 🙏💪 So if I’m correct and you’re referring to when the guy is crouching over the Rhino Calf with his phone in his hand; I think what you’re seeing moving is the Rhino Calf’s ear which is popping out from the side of the bandage? Hope this helps.
Male lion not even trying to take a chance...smart lion.
His name is Ukuva, to be honest. He’s the lazies male lion on planet earth. He’s only about 4 years old in this video, he hangs around with his mother a lot. Essentially waiting for food and in return he has had to baby sit his mothers new cubs which are sub adults (around 2 in this video)
@@KrugerGoneWildHis dad tolerates this?
❤❤
I’ve watched plenty of similar videos and never seen an adult rhinoceros behaving so calmly when under attack by a bunch of lions. Especially with a baby there too. Is this rhino sick or been sedated??
See my response on your latest comment 💪
❤🎉😊
The big male is already limping
That’s Ukuva, he’s just a mommy’s boy in reality. Bit of a softy as far as lios go. He’s still quite young though in fairness and slowly learning what his world is about. He wasn’t too keen to get involved in this at all.
They took their time about intervening
It was a difficult situation. The Rhino’s had to be tracked on foot and it was very difficult terrain; extremely rocky.
If you are going to intervene, wouldn't it make more sense to raise the calf till it's large enough to defend itself, then release?
I see your point and it would certainly guarantee it’s survival to adult hood but there has to be a line and it’s one thing intervening as custodians of these endangered animals after the fact, it’s another to completely remove a calf from its mother and therefore completely affecting the natural order. Ultimately, the intervention was about giving an endangered animal the best chance of surviving in a normal natural habitat rather than to guarantee its survival if that makes sense. I think if there numbers had to drop below a certain number, where it was certainly life or death for the species, something drastic like what you’ve posed would then certainly be required. How that number is decided though is another thing completely. One could say, it’s better to do sooner rather than later.
On that note what do you think about private owners being able to breed, dehorn and sell these horns in to the market? It would certainly drastically drop the price and also increase the Rhino population.
Agreed, there are cases where lions have predated on larger herbivores like the ones you’ve mentioned but it’s a rare phenomenon rather than a daily occurrence as you say. These animals are highly opportunistic and they certainly saw an opportunity. In saying that however, this Pride are certainly adapting their behavior as I have witnessed them playing and toying with Rhino’s a few times. Most of which are more out of curiosity but it is interesting to see that they are starting to find a niche and in circumstances like the above, success.
porque demoraram pra ajudar o rinozinho:????????????????????????
To be fair, there is no obligation to assist regarding any natural inter species interactions. However, the decision was made due to their endangered status. It also took a while to track these Rhino’s as they moved in to a dense drainage line in a very challenging terrain. The fact that both of these Rhino’s survived thanks to human intervention is a massive win amongst many losses which this species sadly incurs due to Rhino poaching.
a pessoa que estava filmando desde o início deveriam ter alertado os guardar para intervir pois as espécies são raras
This video needed a very basic description of the action at the end. I've only been able to piece together what transpired in the abrupt transition from the rhinos being harassed by the lions to the point where humans are involved, the rhino is on its side, etc. You didn't need to be Shakespeare to do a decent job in describing what the footage itself could not and did not explain.
Appreciate your input 💪
Well somebody has to feed the damn lions ?? What the heck. ??
