Elephant Wins ‘Food Fight’ with Rhinos in a Dusty Battle for Grass (VIDEO)

 In a lively scene in South Africa’s Limpopo province, a determined elephant faced off against three rhinos over a pile of freshly cut grass.

The elephant’s first attempt involved a dusting of dirt, hoping to intimidate the rhinos. When this didn’t work, he escalated his efforts, hurling a twig from the ground toward them—though it missed its mark and sailed harmlessly overhead.
