This Wild Rhino Walked Up To A Cameraman, And Demanded A Belly Rub
It was just another ordinary day for cameraman Garth De Bruno Austin, who was shooting a conservation film about rhino poaching in South Africa, when he was suddenly approached by a rhino asking for a belly rub. All of this was captured in a 15-second video that proves even rhinos need some TLC every now and then.
“If a rhino walks straight up to you while you’re filming and wants some rubs… you better rub that rhino like your life depends on it!,” Austin writes. “Lucky for me she left my URSA Mini 4K camera alone!”
Austin is quick to warn that rhinos can be extremely dangerous and that although this rhino was a wild one, the man had managed to build up a level of trust with the animal after spending years filming it.
“Do NOT try and do this with a truly wild rhino as it may end up with you being dead!,” Austin says. “FYI, I did not approach this animal, it was completely her decision to let me come into her personal space and touch her.”

When there is an itch that really needs scratching, then "Any Means, By All Means" is the rule of the day.

Another VICIOUS attack by a rhino!!! What are you doing here?!? Save your lives!!!
I would be terrified tho to be honest. Going near a Rhino is a bit uncomfortable but I thing that would have been an amazing experience hehe (#^ o ^#)
The rhino probably like people, since some saved it. My reasoning; look at the horn. It was cut off by some piece of s**t human being.
This piece of s**t human being might have saved her life. Most rhino poachers would kill it and then cut the horn (and sell it), as just happened to rhino Vince in a zoo in France. See: no horn -> no kill -> happy rhino.
