Dubai: A video of a rhino sleeping on a highway as many vehicles pass by near Bandar Dhubi area at Bagori Range in the Indian state of Assam has gone viral on social media. The video posted on Twitter by Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve was shared on other social media platforms, and users share their concerns about the animal.
The Kaziranga national park posted: "A rhino have strayed out near Bandar Dhubi area at Bagori Range yesterday and taking rest near NH37. The drive out operation is being carried out to guide the Rhino to park. Our staffs, along with @nagaonpolice, are guarding the area. Drive Slow."
Watch the video here:
A twitter user @ajai_cs tweets: "In any other country they would have stopped the traffic entirely as long as that Rhino was resting there. It's simple. The forest belongs to the animals, not vehicles."
Another twitter user @ @Pinkzenjoy comments: "Floods are an annual occurrence. We have been seeing this situation for decades. Shouldn't measures be taken for animal safety by elevated platforms for shelter during floods and high roads for traffic, so they don't obstruct animal crossing? Technology can also be used to monitor."
Reportedly, the Nagaon Police, which have been coordinating with the National park in rescuing the rhino, said that they are ensuring that the animal is 'safe and well-fed'.
Replying to the video, another twitter user @surenmehra posted: "Wildlife #management is not always about intervention .. If you really understand the animal ecology and have field knowledge about a specific area, you can deal an issue in a far better way. Well done @kaziranga_."
The rhino was later moved to Park Territory, and tweeps shared a video and the update that it was “regaining strength”.
One of the most sought after wildlife holiday destinations in India, Kaziranga National park, in Assam is a Unesco World Heritage Site and known for the great Indian one-horned Rhinoceros.
