An angry rhino woke up from sedation and charged at a conservationist’s truck, destroying it with its horn.<br /> <br />Willie Viljoen was unloading a white rhino in the Northern Cape, South Africa, on September 19 when the huge animal turned aggressive.<br /> <br />Dramatic footage – viewed more than 6.3million times – shows the 15-year-old suddenly turn and ram Willie’s Toyota Hilux with its horn.<br /> <br />Using its huge bulk, the rhino punctured the side of the vehicle as well as its tyres in its repeated charges before walking away.<br /> <br />Willie said: “This isn’t a common occurrence, white rhinos are generally quite docile. They’re actually the sweetest animals.<br /> <br />“This was so unexpected but this is part of the job. It sucks as I will need a new vehicle but at least the animal is safe and that’s all that matters.<br /> <br />“They don’t really have much violence or anger in them. They don’t see very well, they smell well though.<br /> <br />“They’re normally under the influence of drugs and stand around before walking off slowly and calmly. This was so strange that this wanted to fight us.<br /> <br />“The damage is still being checked by the insurance company, the vehicle has been collected. We don’t know if it will be written off.”
