Dumb couple attacked by rhino :laugh:

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — When do you not listen to the African wildlife expert? When he tells you to stand closer to the rhino.

That suggestion by a South African game park owner resulted in serious injuries to a 24-year-old woman from Johannesburg.

The Beeld newspaper reported Tuesday that Chantal Beyer said the game park owner snapped pictures and suggested that she "stand just a little bit closer" seconds before the attack. Photos show Beyer and her husband only feet away from two rhinos.

The paper said that just after the photo was snapped, the rhino attacked, and its horn penetrated Beyers' chest from behind, resulting in a collapsed lung and broken ribs, the paper said. The Aloe Ridge Hotel and Nature Reserve, where the incident took place, declined to comment Tuesday.

When I was on a "safari" in South Africa, my van almost got attacked by a mother rhino with a small calf. She was pissed, but not fully in attack mode, and we just had to stop the van and wait until she and the calf moved away, which took about an hour, if I remember. There was literally nothing we could do but hope that she would move. In those situations, you're just at the mercy of the animal.

Hes a bytch for putting his girl closer to the rhino in the pic. She should be with someone more like me. You can tell this clown doesnt know jiujitsu.

Rhino probably had the faces when they began posing.

At least you didn't stop to pose for pictures.

I don't think jiujistu would have been of much help there

Yeah. It's not even that they were standing so close to the rhinos... there is no reason to be standing outside your jeep anywhere in the vicinity of a rhino. shyt, even a jeep stopped too close is defenseless. One rhino can easily total one of those safari jeeps in one charge.

He would have had the wherewithal to know he was in danger and postured the photograph accordingly. Hes probably the type of dude that makes his girl walk on the outside of the sidewalk/parking lot/street. Loser.

Damn. Once again Humans fail to respect the territory of a wild animal. I hope the lady is going to be OK. How she was not killed is a mystery to me.

Well, we were on the dirt road, and the rhino was pretty much right on the road, too, just in front of us. Even we were to go offroad, any sudden movements in any direction at that point were incredibly dangerous, because the rino was already watching us intently. Plus, those jeeps don't go all that fast- a rhino will be able to catch up to you if you're moving away from it.

I should add, the jeep did eventually break down, just not there. The engine stopped working right when we were in the section with all the hyenas and leopards, and just as the sun was setting.
