Walking in the Chitwan grasslands,
this rhino appeared in our path. If you've never encountered a live rhino, they're very big creatures.
It moved towards us, then stopped to contemplate whether to charge.
We didn't know why our guides were carrying big sticks when we started out, but now we did! They beat the ground for a slow three minutes until the rhino turned around and headed back into the tall grass. (The man facing us is telling Josh to stop taking photos and get the hell out of there.)
The whole time we weren't too afraid-until we saw the very nervous faces of the cow-herders who came up behind us. After we were told we could move carefully forward, we heard a very distinct and very close-by snort from the grass. Hmmm... I don't know too animals that snort. We just kept moving.
