How to be safe from a chasing Rhino:
Whenever you are being chased by an aggressive Rhino, firstly you have to run in a zig-zag path so that the Rhino cannot speed up and secondly, you should throw either a cap or a t-shirt or any other clothing because as soon as you do so, the Rhino will spend time sniffing it so that you get more time to escape. and if you get time, you should always look for a big-branched tree,strong enough so that the Rhino cannot break it as it breaks normal trees.
Things that make Rhinos aggressive: Red and White clothing.
