Overview
- Two greater one-horned rhinos fought and chased each other through Sauraha, Nepal, as residents filmed the scene.
- Videos of the street fight spread quickly on social media, with initial reports saying no one was injured.
- Local authorities urged tourists and residents to keep their distance and not press wild animals for photos or videos.
- Sauraha sits beside Chitwan National Park, which is not fully fenced, so rhinos and elephants often wander near roads, hotels, and homes.
- Reporters note such clashes are common in territorial or mating fights among adult males, a risk that has grown with the park’s successful rhino recovery.
