When Rhinos Attack
Monitoring wildlife with trail cameras is a great idea. Until the wildlife decides it doesn't like the look of the camera.
The video, released yesterday and picked up on by a lot of news outlets, shows an extremely rare female Javan rhino from Indonesia’s Ujung Kulon National Park, attacking a trail camera. The cameras use infrared lights as the source of illumination in order to not scare animals away.
