The video shows the amusing and funny moments of two rhinos, taking turns using one rock to scratch their itchy bodies.
There are times on an African safari that wild animals can totally amaze you with their behavior in many different ways. Animals in the wild can sometimes be seen doing strange things or behaving in a certain way that no one has ever seen before, and many times their behavior can be hilarious. During a safari in the Kruger National Park, we came across these two rhinos shown in the video. We found them standing around in a dry riverbed. With no grass in the sandy dry riverbed to feed on, we initially wondered what they were busy with. Soon enough we noticed that both rhinos started showing equal amounts of interest in a large rock lying in the riverbed. Suddenly we realized that both these rhinos were very itchy, and that specific rock was just the right size and the right height to use as a rubbing post. The first rhino went and sat down on the rock before moving back and forth, enjoying a soothing and hilarious looking body scratch. The other rhino was staring and probably couldn’t wait for its turn on the rock. The rhino eventually finished and amazingly the next rhino pulled in at the rock and enjoyed a similar awkward and funny looking performance. It was so funny to watch both these rhinos, taking turns on the same rock, sitting down to scratch those really hard to reach places. Once done, the rhinos slowly moved along back into the bush to continue feeding, looking very satisfied after their body scratches.
