It's not often you see a rhino go up against a buffalo, but it did happen and it turned out to be a one-sided contest.
A safari tour guide was left stunned after witnessing an epic battle between two of the Africa savannah¡¯s biggest beasts - a rhino and a buffalo. Braden Colling was driving around Kariega Game Reserve in South Africa when he spotted a herd of buffalo looking agitated with a rhino.

A video that is going viral, shows the intense moment a rhino and buffalo come face to face with each other. The clip shows a 2.5-tonne rhino appearing to be encroaching on the group of buffaloes.
The footage shows one buffalo break off from the herd to confront the much larger animal in an apparent ill-advised test of strength.
In what was always going to be a step too far for the buffalo, it was being toyed by the rhino. The rhino landed the final blow by using its horns to throw the animal up into the air and slam it down onto its side.
Badly defeated, the buffalo then ran back to the safety of the herd.

"It was incredible. When I watched the bull flip the buffalo as easily as it did, it just blew my mind," Braden Colling was quoted as saying by the Daily Mail.
"Fortunately neither of the animals had any injuries which was surprising because the buffalo was flipped head over heels," he added.
