Zoo staff, commenting on the video, noted: “Who would have thought that such a small body hides a true warrior?”
According to experts, such behavior of the muntjac is related to the mating season, and consequently to an increase in testosterone levels. At the same time, rhinos are considered some of the fiercest and most dangerous animals.
